The Newport Transporter Bridge is one of only three fully working transporter bridges in the world. This year it celebrated its 100th birthday. There was a lovely programme about it, on BBC Radio Wales last night....with interviews with local people. One lady who lives nearby said the bridge is like a back door to Pill......a way out. A man who runs a pet shop there said its really handy when he's giving people directions to the shop....."its left at the transporter bridge."
Terence loved the bridge when he was at college in Newport...and when it was refurbished in 1995 we took a trip in the gondola. It is a fantastic landmark for Newport.
