Bridge of my ukulele

Looking downstream towards the sea which is surging back upstream on a stormy day. 4 July 2008

Always a busy place, phone lines criss cross the sky and the horizon is a sea of chimneys.

Used by so many people this is Ross Bridge in 1975; built in 1881 using a railway turntable which had been removed as redundant, at Chyandour. Ross bridge was a swing bridge, using the same rotational bearings; it was replaced by a lighter swing bridge in 1981.

Here is the bridge at Chyandour complete with train passing over it. Sometimes the waves come rushing in under the bridge at high tide.
