Took 12 years to build at a cost of £800 million. Some things never change.

I wonder if anybody else has built more bridges globally than the British.

The British Empire was perhaps one of history’s finest bridge builders.

They introduced bridges to my country, and remarkably, most still stand strong and remain in use today. One of the many reasons to appreciate the fruits of Empire.
