Still Waters Posted March 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2018 A handwritten note from 1899 has been found inside the pillar of a Victorian bridge in Cardiff by workers preparing to demolish it. Splott Road Bridge is being rebuilt, allowing it to be raised and strengthened for the electrification of the railway line. The note, dated June 1st 1899, was found as Network Rail contractors worked on the upgrade. It appears to say: "This bridge was constructed by Makay and Daniel 1899." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-43428480 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
