@i_firth Cross laminated? Do you know who supplied it?

@eddablin Hi Ed. There’s no tongue and groove, and from memory the panel is actually 3 layers of timber with the middle layer planks running vertically. Adds lots of friction damping to the system. As far as I know it’s all still original. Last time I saw it it needed a good clean.

Halgavor Bridge near Bodmin, still looking good.

@HistoricEngland @DoncasterDome Deep Pit Bridge. About to be jacked up due to electrification.

@DoncasterDome This unusually long, wrought-iron pedestrian railway footbridge in Hindley, Greater Manchester, dates from 1887. It was built during the peak period of railway bridge construction and spanned nine tracks, with a large ramp on the south side rather than steps leading up to it.

@TheHappyPontist It looks reminiscent of the bridge that failed too to me. I can't see there being much trust in this bridge.

@chrisjackson184 Absolutely

@Brian_Duguid @IStructE We've received our copy too. Looking forward to reading

@chrisjackson184 Palladium Bridge, Stowe. My (old) neck of the woods.

@BillHarvey2 @theHREgroup @HighwaysEngland Wow very slight. Feel some of your Moire tell tales in slow motion would help the visual =)

If you want to see the value of infilling watch these two clips carefully. The stone moves past the brick which is supposed to be supporting it. vimeo.com/manage/videos/… Both spans filled with concrete and still it moves. vimeo.com/385231336 @theHREgroup @HighwaysEngland

@BillHarvey2 Yes I thought that too. A possible strengthening but would seem quite narrow. Steel parapets on a plinth also seemed modern.

@eddablin Those castellated beams are surely not 1901, either!

Holiday bridge spotting. Devils bridge at the end of the Vale of Rheidol Railway. 3 constructions on top of each other over a ravine. 11th century. 1708. 1901. Challenging and impressive and the longevity of the first!

@BillHarvey2 Yes. Does seem astonishing.

@eddablin Very far from convinced by 11th century date. Was that a local sign board?

@HistBridgesHV @chrisjackson184 Tintagel Castle

@dbmbridges Must have been struggling for comments of any importance
