Valentine's Post Card

The Forth Bridge

The Forth Bridge

Postcard

Here is a postcard published by Valentine.  It is a little different from most cards of the Forth Bridge, having half of what appears to be a SMT single-decker bus in the lower right corner.

This card has not been sent through the post, but its number 'A646' indicates that the photo was taken in 1934, when the bridge was only 44 years old.  Today, in 2009 the bridge is 119 years old.

Ferry

The ferry passing in front of the rail bridge is one of the new Queensferry Passage ferries, 'Queen Margaret' and 'Robert the Bruce'.  These both started operating on the service in early 1934.
