South Field Homepage


The north tower is on the bank, and has foundations down to 8 metres. The south tower (pictured) descends to 36 metres as a consequence of the shifting sandbanks that make up the Humber estuary.

PAL Line vessel "Trans Agila", probably bound for Goole, passes upstream on the flowing tide.

The Humber Bridge is the fourth-largest single-span suspension bridge in the world, near Kingston upon Hull in England. It spans the River Humber between Barton-upon-Humber on the south bank and Hessle on the north bank, connecting the East Riding of Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.

Taken with a telephoto lens, the bridge is 8.9 miles (14.3Km) away at this point! The south tower is on the left and in the River Humber itself, whereas the north tower is situated on dry land at Hessle Foreshore. The lead up span on the south side is longer than its equivalent north one. To compensate for this, the north lead up cables have more strands than their southern counterparts as their angle is steeper (do you remember your 'triangle of forces' from O-Level Physics!?).
