Nederland - Schiedam, Appelmarktbrug

The Appelmarktbrug is one of Schiedam's three cast-iron drawbridges, built around 1860. When a boat passes through the harbour, this bridge is pulled up by hand by two bridge keepers. The cast-iron drawbridges are the oldest examples in the Netherlands of double (cast-iron) drawbridges.

From the Appelmarktbrug, one has a great view of the Lange Haven and the Havenkerk (PiP1 and 2); originally a Roman Catholic parish church.

An attractive design to these old bridges Jaap. Hard to imagine that they are still raised by hand, - it sounds like hard work. A beautiful series of images

Such a beautiful drawbridge............and it's good to know it's still in working condition. I like the distorted reflections too, and the old street lamp.

Both PiPs are superb, but I especially like the look of the two sailing ships in the first PiP.

Great work........and an interesting narrative as usual.

Interesting description for this bridge that seems quite convoluted and selective!
Beautiful views of the site and the city. The PiP #1 has a lovely romantic feel to it.
