This will connect the quay to the event centre plaza. In due course.

Yes, Probys Quay. All that fresh treated water going straight into the river.

I suggest the new bridge be called the Keynes Bridge - goes nowhere. #Speirgorm

Vista of Elizabeth Fort has opened up. South main street could do with a good scrub - a lot of the stone paving is oily.

Wasn't expecting town to be so busy. Loads of people out and about, availing of the hospitality.

Well for a start the media doesn't need to give every has-been and bluffer the column inches. The way they keep these people's names in the news could lead one to think they tacitly support them.

Article about the Royal Albert Bridge and how Brunel gave the establishment two fingers because they rejected his design for a timber bridge and he then built a high quality long lasting metal bridge

I dunno, looks like the Admiralty had the last laugh - a better bridge was constructed

That's a name full of character. Obviously not bland enough for a modern business park.
