taken 11 years ago, near to Southwick, Sunderland, England

Northern end of the Queen Alexandra Bridge
Northern end of the Queen Alexandra Bridge
The Queen Alexandra Bridge over the River Wear was built in 1909 and was originally a double-decker bridge with a railway on the top (long since discontinued and dismantled). In the foreground are the brick arches of the former railway.

The bridge is a Grade II listed structure and its lattice girder construction is the heaviest ever built. Cycle- and foot-ways pass under the arches seen in the distance to span the river on the outside of the girders.
