Almost as synonymous with Cambridge as punting on the river Cam is this bridge which crosses it. Connecting the old Tudor buildings of Kings College to a more modern campus on the other side – the original was built in 1744 but was replaced with an exact replica when the original became unsafe. The reason for it’s name is because ‘it efficiently demonstrates how tangent and radial beams can create a strong, rigid and self supporting structure’ – which I’m sure you’ll agree is reassuring to know.

Reimagining a view rarely free of punts, students or tourists means it is transformed and one can envisage scholars of old dashing across the bridge nearly three hundred years ago when it would have looked just like this. Hot buttered toast anyone?
