Clifton Suspension Bridge

The Clifton Suspension Bridge which opened in 1864, spans the Avon Gorge and the River Avon. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, it is designated as a grade I listed building.
The bridge has seen many dramas over the years:
In 1885, a 22-year-old woman named Sarah Ann Henley survived a fall from the bridge when her billowing skirts acted as a parachute; she subsequently lived into her eighties.
In 1957 a Filton-based RAF Vampire jet from 501 Squadron piloted by Flying officer John Greenwood flew under the deck while performing a victory roll before crashing in Leigh Woods, killing the pilot.The accident caused a landslip that led to the temporary closure of the nearby Bristol to Portishead railway line.
On 1 April 1979, the first modern bungee jumps were made from the bridge by members of the University of Oxford Dangerous Sports Club.
