GUEST,henryp Any September Songs? (284* d) RE: Any September Songs? 02 Sep 23


2 September on this day in 1834, Thomas Telford, Scottish engineer, road, bridge and canal builder, died in London and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

TELFORD’S BRIDGE by John Warner; The navigation canals that criss-cross England are magnificent feats of engineering and recall a gruelling but picturesque lifestyle. Typical of adventurous Victorian engineers, Thomas Telford chose to take his canal in a flying leap of iron 120 feet above a river. John did NOT cross this bridge in a canoe, he walked across holding Margaret's hand.

So butter some bread, Sally, brew us some tea,
For it's cold on old Telford's Bridge over the Dee.
