View from the Bridge
On the bus again this morning for a walk over the Clifton Suspension Bridge and a walk around Clifton, a rather dull day so we spent the afternoon in the M Shed museum at Bristol's harbour side which opened in 2011.
The Clifton Suspension Bridge, spanning the picturesque Avon Gorge, is the symbol of the city of Bristol. For almost 150 years this Grade I listed structure has attracted visitors from all over the world.
The bridge joins Bristol and North Somerset and is owned and operated by Clifton Suspension Bridge Trust. It is entirely funded by tolls - which have paid for its upkeep since it first opened to the public on 8th December 1864.
The Bridge was designed by the great Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, although he never lived to see his creation finished in 1864.
