I was on a tour around the Humber Bridge, then taking shape at Hessle and wasn't sure if I was allowed to take photographs. No one else seemed to have a camera, but my Minox 35mm lived in my jacket pocket at the time and I took just one picture when we were eventually taken out to view the bridge after a long presentation inside. It was a cold winter's day with a little mist obscuring the low sun which my camera was pointing directly at behind the bridge and I don't think we could see the other side of the river, though the bank is visible in the photograph. The bridge opened to traffic around 3 months later on 24 June 1981.
