Title
Forth Bridge - Fife from Village Pier (west side)
Description
Photograph of Fife from Village Pier (west side). The riveting cages alluded to in the preceding picture can here again be seen on both the bottom members, which were carried out to a distance of about 100 feet without any external support. The upper ends of verticals are rapidly nearing each other, which accounts for the lengths of box girder projecting on either side, the shortening of which has already commenced, as is evident from the eastern arm of same. Transcription from: Philip Phillips, 'The Forth Railway Bridge', Edinburgh, 1890.
