Greeny<p>This is a very cool thing near Southall, London. Three Bridges is a three-level crossing of bridges: a combined rail, canal and road bridge. The project was Brunel's last to be finished before he died on 15 September 1859. <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23london" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#london</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23londonhistory" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#londonhistory</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23engineering" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#engineering</a></p>

Sim Barr<p>London Fog in the early 20th Century … Known as Pea Soup Fog, a problem for centuries derived from the use of coal for home heating and industrial processes.
