ALBERT BRIDGE (n.) Nicknamed ‘The Trembling Lady’ due to its tendency to vibrate as people walk over it, after having proffered monies for the toll fee.

It does look lovely lit up at night.
But the good Doctor must surely have been able to see into the future, as the bridge didn’t open until 89 years after his death. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

The good doctor was very far seeing, in fact some of his words are still in current conversation! Hope you had a good holiday, great weather.

I think the bridge was nicknamed before that connotation came into modern use!
