HUMBER BRIDGE IS THE "MOST BEAUTIFUL" IN THE WORLD SAYS JEREMY CLARKSON

                                                                         

THE Humber Bridge is "the most beautiful man-made thing of all time - apart from maybe the Riva Aquarama speedboat".

So says Jeremy Clarkson  in his Saturday column in The Sun newspaper.

He writes: "When I stand on the south shore on a misty morning and see the wafer-thin road disappearing off into the sea, it takes my breath away. It really does.

"Britain did not need the Humber Bridge, a multi-billion pound project that would link Barton and Hessle, two villages that no one has ever heard of.

"Today, it's still as unnecessary as it ever was. And it's no longer the longest suspension bridge in the world.

"But it remains, in my opinion, the most beautiful. So I am glad it was built."
