I suppose in a sense we give these ideas a fleeting thought these days when we cross over a brand new bridge. This post reminds me of a few similar locations that I have tried to photograph on recent occasions ... nice work. I do like the appropriate name and I must seek it out sometime.

I am a bridgeophile so this is one to add to my list at least the knowledge of it even if I never get there. This is so interesting I had never heard of it.

I wanted to get some honey from the honey farm which is on the English side of the bridge. I got there just before it opened and Mr C had spotted a road sign and suggested we investigate whilst we waited for the shop to open. It was well worth the investigation. I have another post on the bridge coming up soon. It was an unexpected surprise for me. I wanted to get some honey from the honey farm which is on the English side of the bridge.
