达灵顿的Skerne Bridge曾庆祝其195年TH.birthday, along with its historic line – the Stockton and Darlington Railway.
This was the world's first public railway to use steam locomotives, making it the birthplace of today’s modern passenger railway.
We’re proud to look after our Victorian infrastructure and carried out essential maintenance on Skerne Bridge ahead of the milestone.
我们从石雕中取出了植物和杂草，并削减了铁路旁边的一些树木。管理增长将有助于保持您的跑步和可靠地运行，并使Skerne Bridge在Darlington的人们更加明显。同时，我们重新绘制了桥梁和涂鸦的部分。
We worked closely with the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust and Darlington Borough Council to brighten up the area and bring the bridge closer to its former glory.
