The Bridgewater Viaduct …………… waiting to happen

Now if there is one certain thing after death and taxes, it is that Andy Robertson has an unerring knack to come across new developments, and these he will tenaciously record from start to finish.

I never ask him his secret, which I suspect is a combination of looking out for stories of new builds, which he follows up with an inspection of planning applications.

But more important than these, will be his roving journeys across the city and an eye for catching what is going on.

And with all of that comes a bit of a disregard for just how dangerous leaning over a parapet can be, as he looks for the perfect picture.

These two were sent over yesterday along the Bridgewater Viaduct, and fittingly arrived with a photograph of the Owen Street development which is fast coming to an end.

In years to come, his collection of pictures will be an excellent record of how our city is changing.
