Name one famous thing in your city/town

The Runcorn Bridge, Halton, Cheshire (officially the Silver Jubilee Bridge) is considered a famous and iconic landmark in Cheshire, England, often compared to the Sydney Harbour Bridge for its through-arch design. Opened in 1961 to replace the world's first transporter bridge, it is a Grade II listed structure that spans the River Mersey and Manchester Ship Canal.

Key details about the Runcorn Bridge:

• Iconic Status: It is recognized for its impressive design, often visible for miles, and is considered a significant piece of UK engineering heritage.
• Location: It links the towns of Runcorn and Widnes.
• History: The bridge was opened in 1961, with a later expansion in the 1970s for the Queen's Silver Jubilee.
• Features: It serves as a major road link (A533) with a pedestrian walkway and is frequently lit up at night.
• Nearby Structures: It is located next to the historic Runcorn Railway Bridge (Ethelfleda Bridge) and near the newer Mersey Gateway Bridge

The Runcorn Bridge is currently 2 miles away from my house. This is an old picture I will try and get a more recent picture.

Huntsville is where the Space and Rocket Center is at. Even though most of the flights have been launched in Florida for the Space Shuttle, this is where the headquarters for NASA and the Marshall Space Flight Center are at. Now we will also have the headquarters for Space Force, the newest part of our military, right here at Redstone Arsenal. We live almost across the street from part of the arsenal, although not where we can see the Saturn V rocket.
