Day 1;

(click to show/hide)

Is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London built between 1886 and 1894.
The bridge deck is freely accessible to both vehicles and pedestrians
Two massive piers, containing over 70,000 tons of concrete, were sunk into the riverbed to support the construction. Over 11,000 tons of steel provided the framework for the towers and walkways. This was then clad in Cornish granite and Portland stone, both to protect the underlying steelwork and to give the bridge a pleasing appearance.

Please submit all answers to me in PM.

Day 1 answer;

Day 2;

(click to show/hide)

The cathedral is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture, and it is among the largest and best-known church buildings in the Catholic Church in France, and in the world.
In the 1790s, the Cathedral suffered desecration in the radical phase of the French Revolution when much of its religious imagery was damaged or destroyed.
To begin the construction, the bishop had several houses demolished and had a new road built to transport materials for the rest of the cathedral. Construction began in 1163 during the reign of Louis VII, and opinion differs as to whether Sully or Pope Alexander III laid the foundation stone of the cathedral.
