Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge
The iconic Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge across the river Tees on an extremely wet April morning! The Grade II-listed structure, which opened in 1911, is one of only six of its type still operating in the world and the only one in England. Refurbishment of the 104-year-old structure, which closed in August 2013, had been expected to last eight months. However, a string of problems meant the reopening date was repeatedly put back and costs rose from £3.1m to £4m. It eventually reopened on 7th March 2015.
