comments,

• This super span, which reaches across the Avon Gorge, opened in 1864.""In total, it weighs approximately 1,500 tons
• Around four million vehicles cross here every year, enjoying a spectacular view.""It looks particularly stunning at night, don\t you think?
• There are some who would call this feat of engineering a work of art.""Would you say the same about the efforts of another local icon?
• One of the most significant figures in British industry was chosen to design this epic bridge after winning a competition.""He died before it could be completed
