A Card from the island of Jersey

Aren't these great 'airline' stamps?

They are from the island of Jersey, which

is a part of the United Kingdom.

Mary, who lives on Jersey Island, sent me this

card of the Waterloo Bridge. This is the Waterloo

Bridge that spans the River Conwy at Betws-y-C0ed

in Conwy county borough, northwest Wales.

(There is another Waterloo Bridge in London, which

was used to make a WWII classic movie called,

naturally, 'Waterloo Bridge'.)

This ridge in Wales was built by civil engineer Thomas Telford.

There is an inscription across the lower part of

the bridge that reads, 'This arch was constructed

in the same year the Battle of Waterloo was fought.'

If you click on the image above, it will enlarge the

picture and you can probably read the inscription.

Thank you, Mary, for this very interesting postcard.
