I really love these bridge cards and I have just received another which is the Royal Border Bridge.
The Royal Border Bridge spans the River tweed between Berwick upon Tweed and Tweedmouth in Northumberland England and is a Grade 1 listed viaduct that was built between 1847 and 1850 when it was opened by Queen Victoria. The engineer who designed it was Robert Stephenson ( son of George Stephenson) it was built for the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway and is still in regular use today and is part of the East Coast main line. Despite its name the bridge in fact does not span the border between England and Scotland, which is approximately three miles further north. The Bridge is 659 meters long ( 2,162 ft ) and is constructed in stone except for brick "soffitts" for the arches and it has 28 arches Each spanning 18 meters ( 60 ft. ) The railway is carried 37 meters (121 ft.) above the river level.Thank you Emily for this lovely card swap.
