Earlier in the week I posted a shot of a bridge in Budapest made by William Tierney Clark. The same man built the original Hammersmith bridge which was replaced in 1887 by Joseph Bazalgette’s design due concern’s it wouldn’t hold the weight of the traffic (and the spectators to the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race.)
Still the traffic numbers grew; and a more elaborate scheme is now in place which gives buses priority (the buses all have to be single decks too for weight concerns).
Its had multiple refurbishments – not least the one which returned it to it’s original green glory. Although most recently it was refurbished due to a REAL IRA bombing in the year 2000.
The IRA first attempted to blow it up 70 years ago; luckily a local man saw the sparking suitcase and threw it off the bridge into the Thames; where it reportedly blew columns of water 60 feet into the air. – Wikipedia
This is the top of one of the sails on the Wandsworth sailing club boats from our walk on Satuday, the mad background diagonals are because this was taken through a chainlink fence.
This is image 10,000 from my 400D, in just over 8 months of owning it. It’s one of the many (rusting) pieces that are over Hammersmith Bridge from the meetup on Saturday.
For a reason unbeknowst to me, the trees along the walk were all tagged, this is #12.
When I remember - I GeoTag my images - which you can read about in my workflow. It looks like you're in luck!
At the moment this is a static map; and it only show this photo; I'm working on including nearby photos and making the map draggable :)
