One Word Photo Challenge: Pink

Since I was “On the Move” last week I thought this photo covered the Weekly Photo Challenge, “On the Move” and the One Word Photo Challenge: Pink, for this week!

The Conwy, Wales Suspension Bridge, built by Thomas Telford in 1826, was one of the first road suspension bridges in the world. Built into the rock on which Conwy Castle stands, it is very close to the castle. Part of the castle had to be demolished during construction in order for the suspension cables to be anchored into the rock. Telford matched the bridge’s supporting towers with the castle’s turrets! To the right of the suspension bridge runs the wrought iron tubular railway bridge built by Robert Stephenson. Today the Suspension Bridge is only passable on foot and is in the care of the National Trust. Won’t you join me on our visit to Conwy, Wales?

The red sandstone shell of a semi-fortified tower house built between 1284-93 by Bishop Burnell, Edward I’s Lord Chancellor, is all that remains of Acton Burnell Castle, in Acton Burnell, Shropshire, UK. Parliament was held here in 1282 and again in 1285. It is the last known address of my ManyGreatsGrandfather Richard Henry Lee! Join me as we travel through the Cotswolds making our way to Wales and Scotland! Enjoy!

Plas Mawr, the “Great Hall” in Conwy, Wales, was built in 1576 for Welsh merchant Robert Wynn.  It is the finest surviving town house of the Elizabethan Era to be found in Britain. Follow me as we travel through Britain beginning with “The Cottages of the Cotswolds.”
