NEWPORT TRANSPORTER BRIDGE

THIS TRANSPORTER BRIDGE IN NEWPORT, SOUTH WALES, WAS BUILT IN 1906 AND SPANS THE RIVER USK IN NEWPORT. THERE ARE ONLY 8 REMAINING BRIDGES LIKE THIS WORLDWIDE, 3 IN THE UK. THE BRIDGE WAS USED IN THE 1959 MOVIE TIGER BAY.

  1. A great method of crossing a river. There is another in Middlesbrough. I've never seen the third.

  2. Hi Adrian,
    I appreciate your comment. I have not seen the other two, so you are one up on me! Maybe one day we both may see all of them.
