Analysis of Archway Bridge



Archway Bridge, historic in this acreage, ungulates, once graced in this wooded locality
before the bridge was staged and struck in the year 1813, using a roman style viaduct
I love walking along the Archway Road, under Archway bridge, the arch, the span
the engineering, the craftsmanship, the suspension of it all,  the art
Hornsey Lane runs across the bridge, the bridge is known locally as "Suicide Bridge"
sometimes I walk up over the bridge when I'm going to the shops in Highgate
when you look over it's a long way down, smells of death and danger
they have put a wire mesh fence up across both sides of the bridge
25 feet high that makes the drop further down
