  A visit to Woolwich Free Ferry, which functions in a rather surprising way in the Greater London, although building a bridge here would be cheaper in this particular case.

• My private tourists' guide to Birmingham

"Visiting Bridges"

• Yokoshita-bashi (Yokoshita Bridge) -- in the original landscape of a bridge lover   ("Visiting bridges" special)
  Yokoshita Bridge is a bridge over Futawa River, located just near where I was brought up, with no special features to note. Nevertheless, being already 20 years old, the bridge has seen all the "developments" the region experienced.

• Sobu Line Sumida River Bridge   ("Visiting bridges")
  The section of Sobu Line between Ochanomizu and Ryogoku, now owned and run by JR East, was started construction in 1931 and completed in 1932. Constructed as part of the revival from 1923 Kanto Earthquake which killed nearly 150 thousand people, the section includes many technical feats of the time. Many thoughts came to me when looking at such highlights like Sumida River Bridge or Ochanimizu Station.

• Hamamatsucho Station Footbridge   ("Visiting bridges")
  Near the bridges lies a plaque of "Tanaka Prize", given by the Japan Society of Civil Engineers to the outstanding work of the year. The bridge, using paintless brown steel and the rigid frame structure, does look attractive.
