The importance of bridges to the city of Bristol is written into its very name; the first written reference to the city, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle of 1051, calls it Brycgstow, which means ‘place by the bridge’.

I love watching people and the expressions on their faces and their body language, and guessing what they might be thinking or doing. I've enjoyed getting to see everyday life of the residents of Paris and the tourists, both in connection with the bridges. It's fun guessing which one is which. Ultimately, this is a book about bridges, but there's many layers within each photo that could be studied and admired.

ISBN 0-06-091351-7At the beginning of each section you will see a satellite map showing and naming all the bridges. Then the individual bridge is named again on another satellite map at the opening of the section for that specific bridge. Vital statistics are included: when the first bridge in this location was built, when the current bridge was opened, the length, width, how many arches, and what the bridge is used for -pedestrians and/or traffic and a brief history. It is absolutely an ideal way to present and organize the information and the photos of the bridges.
