A smart piece of design from the 1700s.....
This narrow bridge allowed horses to safely walk through it, while their wider loads (like panniers) passed safely over the top. It let traders move goods more efficiently without spending a fortune on a wide bridge. It's called 'Gibraltar Bridge' in Edale, Derbyshire.

I finally managed some stitching yesterday, and feel a lot better for it! This #wip has been neglected recently but I hope to rectify that now. I also have a new commission to get started on, so will have two wips on the go (I really need a few more tbh!)

"Cathy's Clown" is a #popular #song, written by #DonEverly and recorded by #TheEverlyBrothers in 1960. The lyrics describe a man who has been wronged and publicly humiliated by his lover: "Here he comes / That's Cathy's clown". The #choruses are sung by brothers Don and Phil in their trademark #closeHarmony style, while Don sings the #bridges solo. " #CathysClown" is noted for its unorthodox structure, such as beginning on a chorus and having bridges but no #verses.
