| Keywords: Forth Bridge - General view from back of Newhalls Inn, South Queensferry.jpg Photograph of the Forth Bridge under construction general view from back of Newhalls Inn South Queensferry A view obtained to meet a continual demand for a picture showing more of the approach viaduct and less of the bridge itself To this end it was necessary to take up a position which would considerably foreshorten the whole structure The three cantilevers are shown quite clear of each other and the left of the picture is bounded by a portion of the Hawes Pier The detail of viaduct piers can here be seen to perfection including the platforms used in connection with lifting arrangements The piers in the foreground have a measurement of rather more than 2 inches at the base and are about 7 inches in height the girder about 1 1/5 inches the Queensferry cantilever 3 inches at the base and 6 1/5 inches high With these dimensions there should be no difficulty in forming a correct idea of the scale of this really excellent photograph Transcription from Philip Phillips 'The Forth Railway Bridge' Edinburgh 1890 Size cm 43 58 exhibition history Institution National Library of Scotland photograph object history PD-old-70-1923 Creator Philip Phillips RB l 229 74570376 Forth Bridge - General view from back of Newhalls Inn South Queensferry Uploaded with GWToolset Forth Bridge - General view from back of Newhalls Inn South Queensferry http //deriv nls uk/56YK98Q/7443/74438687 2 jpg Construction of the Forth Bridge Images uploaded as part of NLS-WMUK collaboration | ||||
