Regarding your report on plans to enable visitors to visit the top of the Humber Bridge ("Fancy a glass lift ride to top of the Humber Bridge?" Mail, December 1).
Your readers may be interested to hear of a similar visit that took place during the bridge's construction many years ago, when the towers had been constructed and cables had been spun across the estuary, but long before the suspension cables and the roadway arrived.
The chairman of the bridge board at the time was Councillor Alex Clark, who was also a member of the council of the Hull Incorporated Law Society, and he invited some of his solicitor colleagues to join him in a trip to the top.
I and the half-dozen others took our places in a lift that took us to the top, from whence we ventured out about 20 yards towards Lincolnshire.
The difference was that there was no glass lift, simply a wire cage attached to the outside of the tower, open to the elements, and that there was no glass cabin at the top, such as is proposed – simply a wire mesh walkway through which we could see the roadway along the northern bank.
I can recommend that any of your readers take up the offer when it materialises. The view from the top is truly magnificent.
