FORTH ROAD BRIDGE TV DOCUMENTARY
BBC Scotland is making a television documentary about the building
of the FORTH ROAD BRIDGE 1958-1964 which will be
screened ahead of the 50th Anniversary in September 2014. If you
were there, we’d like to hear from you.
BRIDGE WORKERS - Did you or someone you know work on
the construction of the Forth Road Bridge? Did you work in the
office? Was a member of your family a steel erector or a labourer?
FERRY USERS - Do you remember crossing the Firth by Ferry
in the final days? Were you a daily commuter? Or better still did
you or a member of your family work on the ferries?
RESIDENTS – Did you live in the area when the bridge was
built? What do you remember? Was your house demolished?
Were you re-housed nearby?
BRIDGE USERS - Did you cross the bridge on opening day? Do
you remember the queues?
Our documentary will celebrate the ‘highway in the sky’ and the
people who built and lived with this important Scottish landmark.
We’re looking to speak to people with stories to tell about the
building of the bridge and how it impacted the local community and
beyond. Most of the people we’ve heard from so far are men, and
although we’d be very happy to hear from more, we’re also very
keen to hear from any women with a link to the bridge. If you
have a bridge-related tale to tell we’d love to hear from you.
