A PERMANENT TEESSHIPS FEATURE

MY FAVOURITE BRIDGE

The famous Teesside landmark, the Transporter Bridge (built 1911) across the River Tees between Middlesbrough (left) and Port Clarence (right).

Don't know why I haven't thought of this before, especially as I used a thumbnail of this photo as my TEESSHIPS header for quite some time now.

It is such a fascinating structure that I hope readers may be interested in some of the following links about the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge.
