Brunels idea, he had nothing to do with design or construction due to the slight problem of brunnel being dead.

I've done engineering masterworks (like machines to diagnose TB) but it was never in anybody's view like a bridge. Did the praise begin piling high AFTER he died? Weird

33years? wow.... Long time!

That is the Nicolette Vane-Tempest-Stewart /Nicolette Powell jumped off and killed herself. At least she had a nice view.

Every aspect of it is just copied from the Menai bridge. no one talks or cares about the Menai bridge even though it’s weakening :(
