Nelly at <a href="http://nellysgarden.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Nelly's Garden</a> had a guest post some time ago written by her mother who worked in that mill. I can't locate the link at the moment, perhaps Nelly will point us in the right direction Paddy A,

Also the linen connection which is what brought my mum's family to Northern Ireland - Ballymoney/Ballymena/Cullybacky. Great pics That bridge looks a bit like a viaduct - interesting!

The photo of the bridge was early afternoon with the sun behind it. As I was taking the shots I wondered how my photowalking pals would approach it. As for the rail returning... alas many of the old lines and bridges were removed years ago. An example being the line from Harcourt St in Dublin to Dundrum (heading out towards Enniskerry). It has now been rebuilt as part of the LUAS all electric tram system. It is well used & liked with trams about every 10 minutes. WWW,

I justified it with the trip coming up so hope to find WIFIs all over Dublin, I'll be one of these demanding, whinging, returning emigrants :^) Lovely photos, I'd love to see the double bridge late in the afternoon taken in black and white with more shadows. That mightn't work..... I heard a radio programme today about rail returning to everywhere. One never knows.... XO WWW Hi GM:

No idea how that happened. I was on my own on Saturday, having the camera is like having a dog on a walk - good reason to pause and look at the scenery. I also find I can talk to people I meet on the way and ask for info about the locality or the background to a building. Baino,

I've resolved that if I have nothing else on each Sunday, a photo walk it will be, even if I go alone. Out here, Starbucks and Macdonalds have wifi. As for these young thugs trying to stir up more trouble in the north, they need to be nipped in the bud right now! Sadly they don't remember the troubles and the pain it caused. Testosterone filled rebels without a cause and they need to be stopped. Love your little bridges, especially the first one with the double arches we have nothing like that here of course.

The wifi list is a great idea to add to info for visitors. If I knew of coffee shops with wifi I would venture out more in the bad weather. Sitting somewhere with others chatting around me might provide me more interesting topics for blogging. @Chrisb - You surely have some interesting bridges around Bristol.

We have some beauties here too, but none like that (to my knowledge) I am compiling my list of top spots in Amsterdam that has wifi. I dont bring my laptop, too much hassle and my old beaut is not really up for travelling not like your young whippersnapper Tobias. I take the iTouch for blog reading and tweeting when out. Yesterday I went to Café de Nieuwe Lelie and had a drink while chatting on twitter. Lovely when its not great weather out. Elf That is a beautiful bridge at the top.
