Transporter Bridge

OK, so its not exactly hidden as you can see it from miles away, but I got the chance to go up as part of Heritage Open Days
Normally the only chance to get up there is if you fancy the quick way down via a bungee rope.

    I believe the Transporter was some kind of ‘first’, being the first bridge of it’s kind in the UK/world?

    The newport transporter bridge opened in 1906 and the middlesbrough transporter opened in 1911 to be honest I think the middlesbrough one looks a lot more sturdy than the newport one.
