Construction worker Victor Solway is pictured looking relaxed during a break - despite being perched some 70 metres above the River Tamar with seemingly nothing beneath him.

This photo is one of the fascinating items contributed so far to a project to mark the 60th anniversary of the construction of the Tamar Bridge.

Were you, or one of your relatives, involved in the building of this iconic structure? Or did the bridge feature in a special day in your life?

Local people are being asked to contribute photographs and memories to the ‘Under the Bridge’ arts project, a series of events marking six decades since the Tamar Bridge was built.

As part of this, an oral history project will collect stories of people who were involved in building the bridge, or who have worked there or lived close to it since.

The oral histories will form part of the growing archive of information and research being collected by the Bridging the Tamar Visitor Centre. The stories will be presented as one-two minute audio works that will be shared online and can also be accessed via new information panels on the bridge.

The oral history project is part of a wider series of community events being produced as a partnership between Tamar Crossings and social enterprise Fotonow. These include working with young people from both sides of the river to make music, film, and photography and improve their digital media skills.

The anniversary weekend in October will also feature some behind the scenes tours at the bridge.
