North bridge is largely metal, the bridge in the foreground (the structure with the city crest on) is ferro-concrete. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Except it wasn’t. “The use of reinforced concrete probably started with the Homersfield Bridge over the River Waveney on the Norfolk/Suffolk border in 1870, when iron was embedded in concrete, but it was not until the first decade of the 20th Century that reinforcement, as we know it today, was introduced. This was due almost entirely to L.G. Mouchel, the UK agents for the Hennebique system. The first project in the UK was an 18ft span bridge at Chewton Glen in Hampshire in 1902, followed two years later by a 40ft span beam and slab bridge at Sutton Drain in Hull.” Ferro concrete was invented by a bloke from Ipswich, which isn’t far from Norwich, who emigrated to the USA and built the first structure using the method there.
Best get your hammer and chisel out and remove the dedication on the Hull bridge, or chip away at the date on it. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
You'd fit in well with the police, it was me that beeped at you on Kingswood this afternoon, when you looked all around to see who it was. In your defence you were three feet in front of my car, keep 'em peeled, blind git. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
If it's going to be a steak house it's a bit off the beaten track. They are obviously putting some money into the place going by the glass atrium.
strip club was in kings opposite. Now a swingers club. Rumour is chazz is in charge of membership applications…..
Was definitely a strip club at one point, I "knew" a girl that worked there, as was the one opposite you mentioned.
Purely out of curiosity, in what sense is that a bridge? It's just a flat bit of road as far as I can see. Has the structure been moved or the land around it been terraformed over the years or something?
Where the cars are now used to be a drain which was filled in when no longer needed. So it was actually a bridge going over water.
YouTube Hull History Nerd - Watercourses of Hull Foredyke and Lambwath streams. The bridge is shown and described in the first couple of minutes or so.
