It even gets a mention on Google Maps (although it is in the wrong place on the satellite view). It is actually at the Beaumont Street end of St Mary's Wynd.

dunsbyowl1867 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 This is the view out of my office window in Westminster - a modern office building currently used by the MP for Hallam as the venue for his election press briefings. Bad photo from my phone here's Clegg getting into his posh car! And the Clegg "battlebus"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that mobile phone has got one hell of a telephoto lens or you have an extremely long and stressful commute to work. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now while we are on Politics with the general election only 2 days away it would appear that here in this Labour stronghold in south east Sheffield that Labour, in their latest advertising campain have already shot themselves in the foot and conceded defeat BEFORE the election. Can you spot what is wrong with this advertising poster which was posted on the Park & Arbourthorne WMC (currently closed and up for sale) on City Road?

vox Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I mentioned these the other day Richard. I don't know if they're the previous bridges in the same location before they were replaced. Tyne Bridge 1887 Hexham Suspension Bridge A long-gone suspension (toll) bridge that crossed the South Tyne at Warden near Hexham. Built in 1825/26 at a cost of £50,000 (superintending engineer William Clegram) it had a 315ft span. Source: A Biographical Dictionary of Civil Engineers in Great Britain and Ireland, 2002. This photograph was taken in June 1900....and from what I can find out the bridge didn't survive a whole lot longer, the only date I can find so far for it's demolition/replacement is 1901. Looks like the toll booth survived though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 The Warden suspension bridge was about two miles upstream of Hexham: the tollhouse is indeed still standing, Image from Google Streetview: Can't get exactly the same angle, unfortunately.

Markbaby Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I usually work from home in Rotherham, but last year I had to visit head office and took these photos from the windows.

Answers on a postcard please, - or if the site ever gets back up to speed it may be possible to post them on here. OK, the election is over and it appears that no one has won at all No replies as to how I knew from this poster that Labour were not going to win, although I know it kept Stuart amused until I had to tell him. Right, here's the answer The post gives Labour's website as www.labour.org.uk It's that .org bit. Politically that is definately a losers web address, fit only for the "organisation" that is going to form the opposition. If they were going to win their web address would have been www.labour.gov.co.uk A .gov address is an official "government" address. How can you be the Government unless you have a .gov address? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
