Saint Vincent footbridge in Lyon • 20240726

Saint Vincent footbridge, Saône, Lyon, June 1991.

While reading in the novel “Rescue Run” – on a daring rescue across Nazi-occupied Europe (a not yet published book by John Winn Miller) – with an attempt to escape a bounty hunter in Lyon, France, by crossing the footbridge ‘Passerelle Saint Vincent’ across the Saône river…I remembered taking a photograph of long bridges in Lyon during a working visit early 90s.

Diving in my archive I found 16 pictures, including two with bridges, taken in the old city during my visit for presentations of my pancreatic islet research work at a meeting June 6–8, 1991 in Lyon (France) : the 3rd International Congress on Pancreatic and Islet Transplantation, Symposium on Artificial Insulin Delivery System.

Using Google street view I learned that indeed one of my images shows that old ‘Passerelle Saint Vincent’ footbridge over the Saône ;)

Windmills Oranjeboom & Bijenkorf – 1920s Waddinxveen Works – Gouwe River | 20231211

NL – Windmolens ca 1915 aan de Noordkade langs de Gouwe in Waddinxveen. Rechts (achteraan) de Oranjeboom trasmolen voor het malen van tufsteen, kort voor de sloop in 1916. Daar voor de ‘Bijenkorf’, een van de vele papiermolens uit de 18-19e eeuw in Waddinxveen, na 1890 in gebruik genomen als korenmolen, en afgebrand in 1923.
Bijzonder : vooral bij de Bijenkorf is zichtbaar hoe de molen gebouwd lijkt bovenop/in een groter gebouw. Bewerking van scan SAMH museum, Gouda.

EN – Windmills around 1915 on the Noordkade quay along the Gouwe river in Waddinxveen. On the right (at the back) is the Oranjeboom trass mill for grinding tuff stone, shortly before its demolition in 1916. At the front is the Bijenkorf (‘Beehive’) windmill, one of the many paper mills from the 18-19th century in Waddinxveen, used as a grist mill after 1890, and burned down in 1923.
Special: especially at the Bijenkorf it is visible how the mill seems to be built on top of/in a larger building. Editing from scan SAMH museum, Gouda.
