Byker Bridge sunset - 248/365
Byker Bridge - I dashed out last night to catch the last of the sun, and after an extended conversation over a recalcitrant Macbook, nearly missed it. Managed to balance the trusty D300 on a bit of street furniture and keep this still enough for 1/5th of a second exposure. Not perfect, but it captures the moment, and that's what 365 is all about!
The Byker Bridge was opened by the Vice-Chairman of the Byker Bridge Company to pedestrians on 19th October 1878 and to carts and carriages on 27th January 1879. There was a half penny toll, but this was withdrawn on 12th April 1895. Originally only 30 ft wide but was widened to 50 ft in 1899. The deck of the bridge was rebuilt May 1985-March 1986 which I remember, but I don't remember why!
