I never met Bill Harvey, but have learnt loads about masonry bridges through his Bridge of the Month blog. His memorial service was in Exeter Cathedral recently. This blog post recounts one of his more unusual projects, designing and building a temporary bridge as a prop in a service at the cathedral. Well worth a read for its joy of life in creativity.

The original strip said "They drive bigger and bigger trucks over the until it breaks. Then they weigh the last truck and rebuild the bridge"... not too far off from the fact that load testing *is* a part of (just not to collapse!)
