1 The Welsh Bridge


The Welsh Bridge

Some lightroom work on the sky, noise reduction and thats about it really. The Welsh Bridge: The bridge was designed and built by John Tilley and John Carline (whose father was a mason on the English Bridge), who had built Montford Bridge for Thomas Telford. Four of the arches span 43 feet 4 inches, while the fifth and central arch is 46 feet 2 inches. The bridge is 30 feet wide, and built from Grinshill sandstone. In total it is 266 feet long. It was completed in 1795 at a cost of £8,000. (Wikipedia)

Rumour has it that it is still lawful to kill a Welshman on a Sunday if he/she is within the town walls (has to be with a longbow). I have no idea if that is true but I am sure some Welsh town has the same rule. If they change the nationallity to "asshole" every town want this law, would approve of and obey it daily.
