First Avenue Bridge
Dock Gate 20, Approach Road
Southampton
Mick House

The road approach to Dock Gate 20 for Southampton Freightliner Depot, situated between Redbridge and Millbrook is along First Avenue so what better name for the bridge? From this vantage point Mick House has taken on several occasions a number of views looking east and west. It's almost a case as 'spot the difference' however you will find several prominent features appear each time. Many thanks indeed to Mick for his repeated visits and sharing these views with us.
