"The droplets of water falling through, a vague recollection of hoardings on the walls and like so many I have walked and driven under the bridge, walked over it, don't recall it being built but do remember it being blown up and demolished, it didn't want to go. The view towards Mapperley with Kildare road on the Left 3 corner field to the right and the 40 bus turning/terminius probably where the photographer stood.
