Its the 3rd January 2009, after a run up the west coast main line to Edinburgh, I paid a short visit to North Queensferry to view the mighty Forth Bridge. Perhaps the wrong time of the day to take photographs but regardless here is one of four shots of the railway bridge. I did not have enough time to get some shots from the other side. For over 100 years the accepted number of workers thought to have died whilst constructing the bridge was 57. This figure was established by Westhofen; a German engineer who published a record of the works in Engineering in February 1890. A more recent (2004) number by local professional researcher Val Wilson identified 63 workers who were recorded to have died on the works.
