Fascinating bridge Bill,
I love trams - we have them (again) here in Manchester, and in Blackpool (where they've never been away). Take it that's why the bridge has the roof across it? Is it a swing or rising bridge? I see the time is clearly shown on the clock - Quarter to and past three at the same time. Only joking - presumably you see the time from your side of the clock.
A very nice photograph - thanks for posting it.
Regards - John

Bill,
nice to see that you still have your trams. Interesting bridge as well. What's the history of the inscription?
John I haven't been to Manchester but I've seen the new trams in Sheffield.

To answer your questions, the bridge is fixed, the trams (The Red Rockets) will always be running, I prefer the old PCC trolleys. There will be armed insurection if they ever go out of service and the inscription is a part of an art installation. Leslieville (the neighbourhood) used to be quite seedy but has been in the process of gentrificiation over the last few years.
Great fodder for pictures.
Bill
