Bridge's PicturesPages
End of Trail (sort of) (QTEK 9100)
When you walk from Riverpark Road from the bridge towards Philips Park, you get back onto the road and indeed the picture taken in Philips Park is part of the same line by the looks of it.
In this picture you have the bridge that continues onto Philips park on the right and on the left it goes to the piece on Riverpark Road. Of course the two would have never have met as the Riverpark Road part was just to span the littlest of Valleys, but it is connected to the other side.

Partial Bridge (QTEK 9100)
Now I am scaring myself. We have a bridge in Philips Park that ends at a road which I took ages ago and we see a little stub of a bridge near Sportcity and they might be the same bridge and now I'm off on Google Earth to see if there's more... and there it is at the end of Riverpark Road! So as sane rational people, we set out back to where we had come to find this bit of bridge.
So here's a picture, a few arches and what looks like now a path that runs by the estate.

Bridge Terminates Here (QTEK 9100)
Whilst I'm not really a bridge person... honestly, I just happen to have a load of pictures of them, the investigation into what this part bridge near Sportcity (ASDA) was all about, and it looks like an old railway bridge across the canal as you can see here.
What you can't see is how little of the bridge there is left, only one arch by the looks of it.

The Train Starts and Terminates Here (QTEK 9100)
Whilst shopping near ASDA my wife noticed this part bridge (I didn't notice). It's not too easy to see but the bridge has all the greenery on it and the end of the bridge ends in the green bushy stuff a bit nearer. It's a railway bridge by the looks of it and only a small part with the rest knocked down.
Of course thinking about Philips park and the entry I made called The Train Terminates Here I had to look further as this appeared to be another bit of the bridge.

M60 Bridge near Sale Water Park (Nisis DV5)
One of my fave things to photo are geometric shapes, and if I manage to scan the pics in from holiday then you'll probably guess that with at least one shot of a traffic bollard… exactly. This is of a bridge that crosses the M60 just near Sale Water Park. Last time we were at the Water Park there was no bridge and the M60 was still being worked on, so to see this quite impressive bridge there now meant that I had to walk on it, even though I have no idea where it ends up (that’s step two).
Whilst the bridge does in some ways look impressive, unfortunately it's just as impressive as all the other new bridges on the M60 build from the same design... which is the pity; they could have been more imaginative surely?

Iron Bridge (Nisis DV5)
In the area where we were staying in Telford is Ironbridge and it's famous Ironbridge. Nothing to report here apart from the fact that it was raining hard and it would be a really nice place to go when it's nice and sunny, which it wasn't, so it was quite a dreary place to be in some ways. After this it was off to the tile museum to look at… tiles.

Cross Street (Sony Ericsson K700i)
Here's Cross Street and the scene that in 1996 was obliterated by a bomb, supposedly the biggest bomb detonated on mainland Britain so far. Nothing much has changed in some ways, the bridge is still there, and the road still runs the same way. Of course the changes are that for I don't know how many years it was a building site and the other difference is that traffic is unable to drive down Cross Street as it did before. Apart from that and the fact that a nice little cafe use to be on the left (that disappeared before the bomb) I think it looks very much the same, just more glass, which is sort of ironic I think.

Turton Tower (Sony Ericsson K700i)
Whilst at Turton Tower (closed at the time but we had to get out of the house) there was this strange bridge. What you can't see is that it's over a railway line, what you can see are some steps for some reason heading up into a little tower thing on the edge of the bridge. There's nothing much to see from the top of that but it begs the question why it was build like that.

GMEX Bridge (Sony Ericsson K700i)
This is the bridge between Deansgate Station a GMEX. I thought that the symetry of the loops looked interesting. Whilst it's in many ways a pretty ugly bridge the symetry made it all seem a little better... I think.

7 Mile Bridge (Nisis DV5)
7 Mile Bridge (does what it says on the can really) driving from Key West. This was taken a while ago with the DV 5. The bridge on the left is the old bridge that is now in disrepair.
It's been a slow start of the month for pictures hence an archive photo.
