Yarmouth suspension bridge
Мост в Грейт-Ярмуте
Краткая информация
Перекинут через реку Буре в Грейт-Ярмуте, Норфолк, с 1829 года до ее обрушения в 1845 году. Мост был расширен в 1832 году, чего не предусматривал первоначальный проект. 2 мая 1845 года мост рухнул под нагрузкой толпы, собравшейся посмотреть цирковой трюк на реке. Погибло около 79 человек, в основном дети. Расследование выявило недостатки в конструкции и качестве моста. Современный мемориал отмечает место катастрофы.
