Tees Transporter Bridge, Middlesbrough

Sometimes referred to as Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge and even as 'The Tranny'!

This impressive structure has featured numerous times in films and on TV including Boys from the Blackstuff, Billy Elliot, The Fast Show and Spender.

One of my personal favourites was when it featured in the storyline of the third series of 'Auf Wiedersehen, Pet'. The plot saw the bridge dismantled and subsequently sold to and re-erected in the USA. I can confirm that the bridge is still in situ across the Tees.
