Weir and cross-harbour bridges, Belfast (84)
Weir and cross-harbour bridges, Belfast (84)
Plenty to catch the eye in this view from the Queen Elizabeth Bridge. The weir is taking shape and the future Lagan Lookout is under construction (middle left). A pontoon-mounted crane is berthed at Donegall Quay where it’s being joined by a Beaver boat. In the background (to the right of the sorting office) Thompson’s feed mill was still standing. The “mushrooms” which will carry the elevated railway and road are rising - just below it to the right.
