Saltash Fireworks

Celebrating 150 years of the Royal Albert Bridge founded in 1859 (by Isambard Kingdom Brunel), a grand firework display lit the bridge up in a Sydney Harbour Bridge style display on Saturday, May 2nd, 2009
The Royal Albert Bridge spans the River Tamar in the United Kingdom between Plymouth, on the Devon bank, and Saltash on the Cornish bank. Its unique design consists of two 455 feet (138.7 m) lenticular iron trusses 100 feet (30.5 m) above the water, with conventional plate-girder approach spans. This gives it a total length of 2,187.5 feet (666.8 m). It carries the Cornish Main Line railway in and out of Cornwall.
