Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx
I went for a visit to Derby for their comedy festival and to spend the weekend with Gemma.
Saturday morning we went to Belper to the river gardens and the horseshoe weir, which is an incredible piece of civil engineering!
The gardens are lovely and tranquil. It was a great little alternative to our usual trip to Dovedale - which we called off because the weather wasn't great.
Had a lovely morning though!

The Sears Tower from ground level.
I consider this the tallest habitable building in the world, measured from the ground to the topmost part of its Antenna. Following closely at 2nd is Taipei 101, and 3rd Petronas Twin towers. On some technical rules, it is just the 3rd tallest without counting its antenna as part of its height. But aside from being the tallest to its maximum antenna height, this building is the largest among the three tallest.
Other facts: Total height is 527 meters, 110 floors. Its antenna get hit by lightning at a yearly average of more than 600 times.

"The majestic Forth Bridge ... symbolises the tremendous achievements of Victorian engineers and the immense strides made in the technique of bridge design and construction since the dawn of the Railway Age..."
- Derrick Bennett, Bridges: Great Buildings of the World
Throughout the 19th century, several proposals were made to reduce travel time from Edinburgh and southeastern England to the northern cities of Scotland by building a railroad bridge across the expansive mouth of the Forth River. The first attempt, by Thomas Bouch, was abandoned when his previous project, the Tay Bridge, collapsed in 1879. The unique double-cantilever design eventually used was proposed by Benjamin Baker, who had designed the first underground railways in England and later would become the youngest president in history of the Institute of Civil Engineers, the British counterpart to the American Society of Civil Engineers.
More than a mile-and-a-half long, the Forth Bridge was the longest bridge in the world when it was built, easily surpassing the Brooklyn Bridge. The Prince of Wales, later to become King Edward VII, presided at the bridge's opening ceremony, driving home the last of eight million rivets, specially cast in gold and inscribed to record the event.
Facts
- Construction on the Forth Bridge, which began in 1883, required the labor of 5,000 men working day and night, consumed more than 50,000 tons of steel, and cost more than #3 million, or $15 million.
- The total length of the bridge exceeds 1 1/2 miles, with each of the two main spans measuring 1,700 feet. The bridge's columns rise 330 feet and allow a shipping clearance of 150 feet.
- Painting the bridge's 45 acres of steel surfaces began immediately after it was erected and has continued in an uninterrupted cycle to the present day, using paint produced by a single manufacturer.
- The Forth Railway Bridge remains in regular use today, carrying two tracks of the North British Railway between South Queensferry and North Queensferry. It has been joined by the Forth Road Bridge, opened in 1964, which carries automobile traffic.

The view from the top of the transporter bridge, looking towards the West. The bridge is one of three surviving in the UK and one of only a few left in the world, and is the largest (a claim also claimed for the one at Middlesbrough using different criteria). Now an 'exhibit' as part of Newport Museum, it is operational on certain days of the week from early Spring until late Summer.

Craigellachie, Scotland
Completed 1814
Telford's most beautiful iron bridge was built at Craigellachie in Scotland over the Spey, a turbulent mountain stream that furnished a magnificent setting.
David B. Steinman and Ruth Watson, Bridges and Their Builders.
This elegant cast iron arch bridge designed by Scotland's famous Thomas Telford was built from 1812 to 1814. It is the earliest surviving example of a portable lattice-braced standard type that Telford developed for use at wide and deep water crossing sites unsuitable for masonry spans. At least 10 of these bridge types were erected throughout Britain between 1814 and 1829.
Craigellachie Bridge demonstrates Telford's mastery of the use of iron for long span bridges. The light weight components were cast by ironfounder William Hazledine at his Plas Kynaston, Ruabon, Denbigshire foundry, transported by canal and sea to Speymouth thence by wagon to the site. The bridge consists of four spans three of which on the south-east approach are stone arches of 15 feet span each. The main 150 feet span is a lozenge lattice spandrel cast iron arch with a rise of 20 feet. The four lattice arch ribs are 2-1/2 inches thick and 3 feet deep each cast in seven pieces. The deck is of iron plate and 13-1/2 feet wide. Erection of the ironwork took place during the short period of August and September of 1814 under the supervision of Hazeldine's foreman William Stuttle. The general contractors for the project were John Simpson and John Cargill.
Craigellachie Bridge was in general use until 1964 when it was reconstructed above the arch ribs by W.W Lowson a partner of W.A. Fairhurst and Partners, Aberdeen. The bridge continued to be used by vehicles until 1972 when it was bypassed by a modern bridge downstream. It is now dedicated to pedestrian and cyclist traffic and maintained by the Moray Council as a significant historical site and tourist attraction.
Craigellachie Bridge stands today as testimony to the team of Telford, Hazledine, Simpson and Stuttle who with their diverse skills on many projects together significantly advanced the craft and science of bridge building in Britain.
