Bridges - An open thread


Bridego or Mentmore Bridge
by Cliff Jones, on Flickr

"The Great Train Robbery" was the robbery of a Royal Mail train heading between Glasgow and London in the early hours of Thursday 8 August 1963 at Bridego Railway Bridge, Ledburn near Mentmore in Buckinghamshire.
The scene of the crime was for some years called "Train Robbers' bridge" on a Network Rail maintenance sign. This led to an outcry advocating restoration of the original name of Bridego Bridge, but in late 2013 it was renamed again, as Mentmore Bridge.

The Three Bridges from Conwy Castle, looking west across the River Conwy. They are (from left to right): the newish road bridge, the original suspension bridge (now pedestrian only) and the railway bridge. The road bridge used to be the A55, but this has been superseded by a tunnel further north (to the left). This photo is actually a panorama merged from five original images.

Don't think I've posted this one before but might have!

Going from one side of nowhere to the other - and it's a clamber up or down from either end. Not over much either!
