This volume of original and historic photographs captures the story of the ingenious bridges that carried us from the Victorian era into modern times. With their moveable platforms designed to traverse busy waterways, Transporter Bridges served a brief but vital need from the late 19th century into the early 20th. Though many were planned, the huge increase in road transport quickly rendered them obsolete. In the end, fewer than thirty were ever completed across the world, with only nine still standing in their original form. But the transporter bridge appears to be entering a renaissance. In France and Argentina, restoration efforts are bringing life back to some of the original bridges. Meanwhile, proposals exist for three new bridges across France—at Nantes, Marseille and Brest—to replace some of those lost during and after the Second World War. This illustrated history captures the beauty of transporter bridges through hundreds of color photographs. The author combines his own modern images with many historic photographs and postcards chronicling the construction and operation of these unusual structures.

Opened on Wednesday 28th February 1934 by the Duke of York, the Tees (Newport) Bridge was dubbed the ‘Tees Wonder Bridge’ by the press and celebrated as the largest vertical-lift bridge of its type in the world. Constructed by Middlesbrough-based Dorman Long, the famed bridge builders responsible for global icons such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Newcastle’s Tyne Bridge, the colossal Teesside landmark has played a vital part in the history of the region for over 90 years. The Tees Newport Bridge: The Untold Story of a Steel River Landmark by Tosh Warwick features dozens of previously unpublished construction and opening ceremony photographs as the fascinating history of the Grade II listed structure is revealed. The transformative role played by the bridge, tales of triumphs and tragedies, and dozens of memories are accompanied by artwork and a range of facts, figures and plans as this remarkable example of British engineering and local legacy of Dorman Long is celebrated.

Excerpt from Transporter Bridges Five years later, an elaborate plan for a transporter bridge over the Thames, was prepared by L. Mills and A. Twyman of North Shields, with a center opening 200 feet in Width and 80 feet high. The upper platform, reached by elevators in the towers, was to have provision for pedestrian travel, so that foot passengers could cross at all times. As transporter bridges are especially suitable for crossing harbor entrances at the sea coast, the type had for many years been advocated for the water courses at New York, and in 1885, 1\/ir. John F. Anderson published a design, Fig. 1, for crossing the Hudson by means of a moving platform suspended from a high level track, supported on pairs of cylinder piers. The platform was to be long enough to always be in contact with three sets of piers, thereby insuring lateral stability. In other respects the design was quite similar to those previously prepared by Harvey Leach and H. N. Houghton, and to Haege's plan for a rolling railway bridge.' Two years previous to this Mr. Gustav Lindenthal had been granted an American patent on a transporter bridge with a traveling suspended car. During the year 1894, two important passenger cableways were erected, one near Knoxville, Tennessee, and the other at Brighton Dyke, England, the car on the former one moving on a cable with steep incline. The cableway crossing Devil's Dyke at Brighton, designed by W. J. Brewer, had a clear center span of 650 feet, the type being selected because conditions would not permit the expense of a regular bridge. -an upper unstiffened cable over the towers, with a sag of only 26 feet, supports all the load, and two lower horizontal cables suspended therefrom by one-inch steel bars, carry the trolley at a height of 230 feet above the valley at the deepest part. The car is only 5 by 7 feet, to hold from eight to twelve passengers, and it is hauled back and forth by a smaller rope, making the passage in 2% minutes. After its completion, 720 people were taken across and back in 2% hours. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The story of Middlesbrough as a town is one that dates back less than two centuries, with the emergence of the modern urban centre the product of Victorian industrialisation and rapid urban expansion. Despite this relatively short history, the fascination and pride in Middlesbrough’s heritage is as strong as that found in established historical towns, evokes poignant memories and prompts lively debates. Memories of Middlesbrough in the 1970s and 1980s includes over 100 historic photographs of many of the town’s familiar landmarks and provides an insight into a period that brought unprecedented change. Inspired by the photographs of John Severs, Teesside Archives and other private and public collections, the book charts demolition of historic buildings, the disappearance of many industries, regeneration, sporting glories and shares the memories of the people of Middlesbrough.

The definitive illustrated guide to modern British architecture, from one of the most acclaimed critics at work today Modernism is now a century old, and its consequences are all around us, built into our everyday lived environments. Its place in Britain's history is fiercely contested, and its role in our future is the subject of ongoing controversy - but modernist buildings have undoubtedly changed our cities, politics and identity forever. In Modern Buildings in Britain, Owen Hatherley applauds the ambition and explores the significance of this most divisive of architectures, travelling from Aberystwyth to Aberdeen, from St Ives to Shetland, in search of our most important and distinctive modern buildings. Drawing on hundreds of examples, we learn how the concrete of Brutalism embodies post-war civic principles, how corporate values were expressed in the glass façades of the International Style, and why Ecomodernist experimentation is often consigned to the geographic fringes. As Hatherley considers the social, political and cultural value of these structures - a number of which are threatened by demolition - two linked questions emerge: what happens to a building after it has been lived in, and what becomes of an idea when its time has passed? With more than six hundred pages of trenchantly opinionated, often witty analysis, and with three hundred photographs in duotone and colour, Modern Buildings in Britain is a landmark contribution to the history of British architecture.
