Happy 100th birthday...

... to the Middlesbrough Transporter bridge.

I have never been over it, but passed it during my coastal walk nine yeas ago. It is a fascinating structure (as is the other example in Britain at Newport in South Wales). It's good to know that the old gal has life in her still.

100 years!!! What a birthday, I think that we should all thank to its creators, for making something so strong and steady!

We once passed over it. It's truly a magnificent construction. Kudos to the engineers that designed it!
