HFF to you all

HFF to you all
The Iron Bridge that crosses the River Severn in Shropshire. Opened in 1781, it was the first major bridge in the world to be made of cast iron, and was greatly celebrated after construction owing to its use of the new material. Tolls for pedestrians were collected until 1950.

A 1923 reports suggested that the main span of the bridge was in poor condition, and the bridge should be used by vehicles no heavier than 2 tonnes. It is now closed to all but pedestrians and cyclists.

The PiP shows the toll charges.

No-one is exempt from taxes in the UK, Andy, unless they're very devious and have a good accountant.

Philip Hammond could have added on cyclists and pedestrians to his Budget yesterday. Another missed opportunity.

Please keep the fact that I have a carriage of four from Philip Hammond, Steve, and I drive over twice a day.. If he ever finds out, I'll owe 3 shillings per day, and I'll be insolvent. Of course, no-one would catch me actually walking over this bridge. Perish the thought.

I'd heard of this bridge. Marvellous that it wasn't scrapped so some 'modern' replacement could be built. HFF, and best wishes for the weekend, Amanda.

Oh dear! My garden has taken over my life! Everything is growing apace, and I'm trying to keep it all under control, as well as endeavouring to organise a village garden trail in July. I think I've visited everyone who has commented. Normal service will be resumed when it starts pouring with rain. ;-)
