Anderston Footbridge, Glasgow, 2025

A pedestrian footbridge with metal railings curves gently through an urban area lined with modern glass buildings and older brick structures under a cloudy, overcast sky. Tall office blocks dominate the background.
A busy multi-lane dual carriageway in a city with cars and vans travelling in both directions. A flyover crosses above, and a modern glass office block stands to the right. To the left is an old brick church. The sky is partly cloudy, and there are some cranes in the background.

Sarah Allen, the head of architecture at the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, shared some far more poetic words than I’m capable of, alongside historical pictures of this “bridge to nowhere” from before it was completed, in the RIBA Journal.

Millennium Bridge at 25, Lancaster, 2026

A modern cable-stayed footbridge stretches over a calm river at sunset, with orange and pink clouds filling the sky. Trees and buildings line the riverbanks, and a paved walkway follows the water’s edge on the left side of the image.

Happy birthday, bridge! Lancaster’s Millennium Bridge opened on this day 25 years ago, and celebrated with a beautiful winter sunset on my way back from the supermarket.
