Perth Bridge - Gallery

Gallery

  • Smeaton's Bridge, with St. Matthew's Church, on Tay Street, on the left, looking north from Queen's Bridge

  • A plaque on the bridge stating its year of completion is incorrect: the bridge's construction was actually begun in 1766 but completed in 1771. Also mentioned is the year the bridge was widened: 1869. Its location can be seen on the right-hand side of the bridge in the next image

  • A view from Bridgend's East Bridge Street to West Bridge Street, which traverses the bridge. Gowrie Street is to the left; Main Street to the right. Perth Museum and Art Gallery is in view at the far end of the bridge

  • Flats and maisonettes on Commercial Street in Bridgend, viewed from the bridge

Famous quotes containing the word gallery:

    It doesn’t matter that your painting is small. Kopecks are also small, but when a lot are put together they make a ruble. Each painting displayed in a gallery and each good book that makes it into a library, no matter how small they may be, serves a great cause: accretion of the national wealth.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    Each morning the manager of this gallery substituted some new picture, distinguished by more brilliant or harmonious coloring, for the old upon the walls.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning round.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
