Photographer’s Note

Also known as Clifton Suspension Bridge.

The current toll cost £0.50.

I'm still searching for different points of view and angles. I haven't achieved anything yet that makes me feel, "Yes! This is it!". So I will keep trying!

Construction of the bridge was featured in the Channel 4 television series The Worst Jobs in History,[14] as part of an episode entitled The Worst Industrial Jobs in History, first broadcast on 7 May 2006.[15] Presenter Tony Robinson climbs the chains over one of the towers during the sequence, tied off to a safety line, to demonstrate what the workers building the span endured. He particularly struggles with the swirling winds and states that during construction the wind blew the platform for the lines seventy feet in the air at one point, yet all the workers survived.
