Many More Bridges To Cross ~

This is a gift to a new and supportive friend ~DavidPenney who turned half a century 50 at the beginning of May and where I have been so busy, I missed it ...
Happy Belated birthday... :party: :heart: :rose: I hope you like a bit of history...:D

This bridge is often referred to as the Bridge of Sighs because of its supposed similarity to the famous Bridge of Sighs in Venice. However, Hertford Bridge was never intended to be a replica of the Venetian bridge,
and indeed it bears a closer resemblance to the Rialto Bridge [link] in the same city. Much of its current architecture was designed by Sir Thomas Jackson. It was completed in 1914, despite its construction being opposed by New College. The college is the setting for parts of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited,
