👏👏 @IlluminatedRiv spotlight on the Ladies Bridge, the women who rebuilt Waterloo Bridge, seen in this film theladiesbridge.co.uk/watch-… thanks to Professor Christine Wall and documentary filmmakers Karen Livesey and Jo Wiser.
#womeninengeering #WomensDay2026
On #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the women of Waterloo Bridge.
By the 1930s, the foundations of John Rennie’s original 19th-century bridge were failing, rendering it unfit for modern London, so a replacement was needed.

Remembering Rambler David Sharp, born #OTD 100 years ago. David was the 'father' of the Thames Path, leading surveys, relentlessly negotiating the route and writing guide books before it was approved in 1989. Read @CampaignerKate tribute 👇 campaignerkate.wordpress.com…

The Goring Gap, and Brunel's railway bridge spanning The Thames. But, is there more to this scene than we may have realised...? I am investigating something for Wessex Ways podcast.

This serene landscape beside The Thames near Hartslock Wood is a vital area known for supporting the rare Monkey Orchids. A beautiful sight today! Well done to everyone who got my earlier question correct.
