Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol
The idea of building a bridge over Avon Gorge originated in 1753 with a bequest in the will of Bristolian merchant William Vick, who left £ 1,000 invested with instructions that if the interest had accumulated to £ 10,000, should be used for construction a stone bridge between Clifton floor (which was in Gloucestershire, outside the city of Bristol, until the 1830s) and Leigh Woods (then in Somerset).
The bridge is a distinctive symbol, a symbol that is used in Bristol, postcards, brochures and information web sites, such as Bristol visit.
