The name derives from the Old English bēam and brycg, which probably means tree-trunk bridge. It is mentioned in an undated medieval document. Bamber Bridge is often referred to as Brig by residents. People born in Bamber Bridge are known as Briggers. The total population for the three active Bamber Bridge Wards was 12,126 at the 2001 census, increasing to a total of 13,945 at the 2011 Census.

1. The Barn Bamber Bridge
The Riot Act 1714 was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain which authorized local authorities to declare any group of 12 or more people to be unlawfully assembled and to disperse or face punitive action. The act's long title was An Act for preventing tumults and riotous assemblies, and for the more speedy and effectual punishing the rioters, and it came into force on 1 August 1715. It was repealed in England and Wales by section 10 and Part III of Schedule 3 of the Criminal Law Act 1967. Acts similar to the Riot Act passed into the laws of British colonies in Australia, Canada, and America, some of which remain today. The phrase read the Riot Act has passed into common usage for a stern reprimand or warning of consequences.

6. South Lakes Safari Zoo Dalton In Furness
South Lakes Safari Zoo is a 51-acre zoo established in 1994 by David Gill, and located in Cumbria, England. Its name refers to its proximity to the Lake District, though it lies entirely within the Borough of Barrow-in-Furness on the outskirts of Dalton. After an initial rapid growth, the zoo became one of Cumbria's most successful tourist attractions. However, under Gill's onwership the zoo had a number of controversies, emerging both from his personal life and his management of the zoo. Significant concerns over animal welfare and the death of an employee eventually led to Gill losing his license to operate the zoo in 2017, which has under a new management team seen a marked improvement in animal welfare.

India's MOST DANGEROUS Rail BRIDGE PAMBAN Rameswaram.

The Pamban Sea Bridge is a railway bridge constructed on the Palk Strait which connects the Island town of Rameswaram to the rest of India. This is the first ever Sea Bridge constructed in India and is about 2 KM long opened to service on 24 February 1914. So far this has been one of the most dangerous and deadly Sea Bridges ever constructed due to its low raised concrete piers just a few feet above the sea water level. The piers almost go invisible when the water level raises during heavy monsoons.The Bridge is restricted to a speed of only 15 KPH due to the double leaf bascule section midway (Cantilever), which can be raised to let ships and barges pass through. An anemometer fixed on the 56th pier over the bridge records the velocity of the wind. Whenever the velocity of the wind exceeds 58 KPH, the signals are turned red preventing any train movement on the bridge.

The bridge is located in the world's second most corrosive environment after Florida, making its maintenance a challenging job. The location is also a cyclone-prone high wind velocity zone.The bridge consist of 143 piers and the center span is a Scherzer rolling type lift span. Each half of the lifting span weighs approximately 415 tonnes.

The Bridge was originally in Meter gauge alignment and was converted to Broad gauge in 2008.

The adjacent road bridge was opened in 1988 until then Rail and Ferry services were the only means of transport to cross the Sea.

This video covers a lot of Trains moving over the Bridge from various view points. Some spots were really risky. The stretch is non electrified between Trichy - Rameswaram and Madurai -Ramerswaram hence all trains are powered by ALCo's only, EMD's have never been tested on this Bridge.

The Fellsman at Preston Leander Part 1

I filmed Leander at various locations near Preston during August and September. In this video (Part 1) I've arranged the clips in order of location so you see her leaving the main line at Penwortham, climbing the Farington curve to Lostock Hall and arriving and departing Bamber Bridge. Brief return clips culminate in a memorable evening at Preston station (see Part 2) when Leander was joined by 45231 on the adjoining platform. Both are shown departing within five minutes of each other. When was the last time two steam locos in service were seen together at Preston station? Any suggestions?

Day 13 - Prescot to Goosnargh

Pete Shevlin and Clemmie Ludford continue their journey to John O' Groats. Day 13 goes from Prescot to Southport along the Trans Penine Way and then up through Preston, eventually arriving in Goosnargh. This 69 mile journey was mostly windy and although the threat of rain was there, it didn't ever really arrive. The North West was good to us in many ways, including meeting up with our friends Clare and Mike at the end of the day, to have the famous Goosnargh Duck in the local pub.
