Here’s a collection of photos and blog links from last week big celebrations, opening the new Tram Bridge in Avenham Park, Preston.
Some of our team, volunteers and members crossed the bridge in the opening ceremony, with along 5000 other people! It was a gorgeous sunny day, perfect for idling around with the pretty views.
Our favourite photo of the day, is thanks to Michael Porter from : https://www.facebook.com/mickporterphotos
I mage of Margaret, a DENW trustee being at the front of the DENW group crossing the new Preston Tram Bridge. Margaret is wearing a bright pink 2 piece suit, glasses, cross-body bag, and using a wheelchair. The background is in soft focus with lots of people behind her, including some in DENW branded purple t-shirts, with a person in a high-vis jacket holding a DENW sign up to the right of shot.
