the Bridge with No Name

 

[League Wan]

Guess the last bridge should have been named the sinking bridge then

For the spire I would have said the paint is knackered already bridge but that was true

 

[Row 34]

Vaux Bridge.

End of. Not open for discussion etc.

Or how about the Maxim bridge

 

[ivanthereasonable]

The bridge of sighs.

and the Bridge of Sighs on the way back across

Bugger.

 

[riffraff]

Bridge Of Light seems the obvious one.

 

[oddbod]

Suddick bridge!

 

[JAZZMANB]

Span da valley

 

[Lord Summerisle]

The Bridge of Light, leading to the walk way of Light. Where before entering the Stadium of Light you can purchase burgers of Light from the many food vans of Light.

This has my full support, and of all the community groups I claim overlordship of.

If, that is, they should reject the plan I shall soon submit to light FIERY beacons every few yards along it and stage public cleansing of unbelievers. Venice has the Bridge of Sighs, we would have the Bridge of Screams.

I trust I can count on your votes.

 

[DieselBert]

Judging by the birds eye view of the bridge the Peruvian marching powder bridge seems apt

 

[CollingwoodFTM]

Bridge Of Light seems the obvious one.

Joseph Swan Bridge of Light?

 

[riffraff]

Joseph Swan Bridge of Light?

Better than The Wayne and Michael Bridge(s) Bridge Of Light.

 

[Roker SOL]

Looks like it's open to discussion and suggestions

Keeganmeltdown Bridge.

Seriously, Bridge of Light as per other suggestions.

Joseph Swan Bridge of Light?

Now that I like, reclaim him from the Geordie nation.

 

[The soap powder]

I mean it has to be Vaux no other name would suffice

 

[ISOE II]

Biffin’s


That’s correct, the Gill is to the south of the Bridge but there is already a bridge linking Vaux to Deptford called that, or at least known as that since I was a kid.
There’s just as much history on the Vaux site itself with Roman occupation or industry on the north side to be drawn from.

Actually, would be good if the Roman word for the Wear could be incorporated somehow.

The Via Vedra!

 

[campari spritz]

Just The Slip Way for me. A nice nod to the ships that launched from under it.

 

[Kevj]

The Via Vedra!

Excellent!

 

[Stella Spark]

Vaux isn't "inclusive"
It'll need to reflect the current influx and our proud LGBT heritage.
And we can't leave the mags out., they've done so much for Sunderland
We could call it The Sir Kier.

Keir Hardy footbridge, with the police and council allowing loads of cars to park on it, blocking the way, on match days.

 

[Timeless]

The Colliery Bridge

It leads to the old Monkweamouth pit site the stadium is built on & the North Bank coal was shipped away from.

Would be good to see it lit up with pit lamps too but think that'd be a stretch for Sunderland council

 

[hungrymackem]

If you believe one of the rumours then

The Weak bridge
The closed on matchday

The Sinking Bridge ??

 

[number one is gary rowell]

Brewery Bridge
