Our Forth Bridge: Made From Girders Summary

Our Forth Bridge: Made From Girders by Barbara Henderson

The artist, the Blue Badge tour guide, the construction superintendent - join writer Barbara Henderson and photographer Alan McCredie for an A-Z glimpse behind the scenes at Scotland's iconic Forth Bridge.

Packed with stories and anecdotes, meet the people whose lives are inextricably welded to the famous red girders: enthusiasts, professionals, residents, researchers, souvenir sellers, lifeboat crew, train drivers, writers and volunteers, all accompanied by images from the acclaimed photographer Alan McCredie.

Whilst there are several photographic books on the Forth Bridge they mainly have an emphasis on the structure itself, not the people here and now. Made from Girders seeks to give a real sense of what the bridge means to people.

This book will be of interest to people from the area or who have connections to the Forth Rail Bridge, as well as tourists visiting the area.
