We are looking north down the slope to Station Way, and the bridge which dates from the opening of the railway in 1847.

Nearby is the site of the forthcoming 1930s Woolworth store and 1980s redevelopment. Down past the latticed railway bridge is the new road over the bridge to Middleton.

A double-decker bus can be seen crossing the Iron Bridge, which spans the River Loughor close to its estuary. In the background is the industrialised shoreline leading to Llanelli.

Fore Street heads east from the Market Place to cross the River Parrett on the iron bridge dated 1883; this replaced an early Coalbrookdale cast-iron bridge of 1795.

Most of the traffic was coal, which was loaded in the harbour beyond the bridge and taken to the linen mills along the river, but there was also a steady flow of sand downstream to this wharf.

This is downstream beyond the 1813 Ouse bridge to the Embankment area, with a view of the parks and gardens mostly laid out during Joshua Hawkins's mayoralty in the 1880s.

Until 1903, Maidenhead Bridge was a toll bridge with its neat pyramid- roofed lodges either side of the gate.

From the 16th-century tower of St Andrew's Church, established by monks from Bridlington some 900 years ago, we see the bridge over the Swale and the white Bridge Inn (centre). 17th-century cottages stretch

Stirling is the last place where there is a bridge over the Forth before the river widens into an estuary. The town and its castle have therefore been fought over on numerous occasions.

Hidden among the trees in the centre of our photograph is a foot (and animal) bridge just a few miles outside Dunsop Bridge. The hill on the left is called Knot or Sugar Loaf.

Petrol pumps and the small village shop stand next to another café advertising cigarettes and the ubiquitous Wall's ice cream. The signpost points to Casterton.

In 1792, a company was formed by Lancaster merchants to build a canal; they saw it as a way of getting cheap coal from Wigan and transporting other goods out into towns in the heart of Lancashire.

Newport Pagnell Services is now (2002) run by Welcome Break, but it is architecturally very little changed, with the glazed bridge a distinctive feature.

In 1964 this beautiful and historic bridge, built in 1617, finally bent to the increase of traffic and was demolished and replaced with a modern concrete structure.

From Bridge Street we head north towards Victoria Square over the Chesterfield Canal, whose bridge parapets are in the foreground.

This view looks south-west along the canal past the last lock, No 16, Hills and Partridges Lock, to Park Street Bridge. (Hills and Partridges works have now long gone.)

Now we move two or three miles upstream to Colley Mill Bridge. This bridge is old and narrow, and was already controlled by traffic lights when this picture was taken.

This beautifully proportioned stone bridge (Y Bont Fawr means 'the big bridge'), built over the Afon Conwy in 1636, has been a well-known beauty spot and subject for artists for centuries.
