I-Paddington Rolling Bridge

Esigodini sasePaddington se-Grand Union Canal eLondon kukhona ibhuloho evame ukukhishwa e-octagon kodwa ukungahambisani ngesonto ukuze izivakashi zizwakalise - futhi zidlule.

Lona i-Rolling Bridge yeThe Heatherwick Studio. Kwathunyelwa ngo-2004 njengebhola lokuhamba ngezinyawo labasebenzi basekhaya kanye nezakhamuzi ukuba liwele futhi livumele ukuthi izikebhe zihambele ngaphakathi.

Sivame ukucabanga ngebhuloho njengesakhiwo esiqinile kodwa eqondile sichitha ingxenye enkulu yempilo yayo ephihliwe eduze kwesibhobho esingafuni lutho njengebhuloho.

Kanye ngesonto, phakathi nobusuku ngoLwesihlanu, amalungu amabili abasebenzi asePaddington Waterside Partnership alethe ukulawula ukusebenza kwebhuloho. Ngezinye izikhathi banesithameli esincane futhi ngezinye izikhathi abenzi, kodwa bafika njalo.

Ibhuloho livula futhi livale nge-system of hydraulics efakwe ku-balustrade. Kuyinto enhle ukubukela njengoba kubonakala kunomusa okuthile okusebenza kakhulu. Ibhuloho ingamiswa nganoma yisiphi isici 'se-curl' kodwa ngokuvamile, asikho isidingo futhi opharetha uzoyeka kuphela lapho evulekile ngokugcwele noma evalekile ngokugcwele.

Uma uvula ngokugcwele ibhuloho liwela intulo futhi abantu bavunyelwe ukuhamba ngakho-ke bagijime bese uzama. Kuzinzile kakhulu isakhiwo sesikhashana. Uma sekusetshenziselwe imizuzu embalwa, futhi akekho abantu abazama ukuwela, ilungu lesibili labasebenzi livimbela indlela yokuphepha (usengakwazi ukuhamba ngasendleleni yomgwaqo) futhi amaphuphu e-bridge aphakanyisiwe.

Iziqondiso zePaddington Rolling Bridge

I- Rolling Bridge ePaddington iyamangalisa ukubuka lapho ingahlali futhi iba ibhuloho imizuzu embalwa kanye ngesonto. Kodwa ukuwuthola kungaba okukhohlisayo, ngisho nakwabendawo, ngakho-ke nansi ezinye izinkomba ezicacile nezilula ezizolandela.

Kusuka esitokisini sasePaddington funa i-Praed Street iphuma. Kokubili isitimela nesitimela sesitimela sinezibonakaliso zalo mgwaqo omkhulu.

Once on Street Praed, thatha owokuqala kwesokunxele ukujika ungene South Wharf Road. Lokhu kulandela umkhawulo wesiteshi (ezingeni eliphezulu).

Ngaphandle kwekhoneni, udinga ukushiya umgwaqo (lapho iSouth Wharf Street ijika khona ngakwesokudla) bese uthatha ngakwesobunxele ujikeleze umzila ohlangene owenzela umgwaqo. Bheka isibonakaliso esibhakabhaka, njengoba sibonisiwe lapha ngakwesokudla, sikuqondise ku "Paterson Cabin" naku "The Bays". Vula indlela futhi uzobona uphawu oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka olufanekiselwe lapha phezulu ngakwesokunxele. Umzila odilikayo ungabonakala esithombeni esisele kwesokunxele.

Hamba ngale ndlela kuze kube sekupheleni kwalezi zakhiwo, okungengaphezu kwamaminithi amabili, futhi uzofinyelela emgodini bese ubona ibhulogi elimhlophe phezu komsele, okufanekiselwa esithombeni esingaphansi kwesokudla. Khuphuka izinyathelo futhi uphawule umsele bese wehla izinyathelo, hhayi umthamo.

Landela indlela ye-canal ezungeze ekhoneni (ungahamba kuphela ngendlela eyodwa) futhi ngaphambi kokufinyelela ekupheleni komsele we-canal uzobona ibhuloho eligoqwe ngakolunye uhlangothi lwesilwane. Yiphawula, ayihambanga ngaphesheya kwe-canal kepha ngaphezu kwendlovu enendlela yomsele ongasemkhawulweni ukuze ukwazi ukuhamba nxazonke lapho ibhuloho ingasetshenziswa.

Ibhuloho engavamile emini yonke ilanga ngoLwesihlanu kanye nenqubo yonke - ukuvula nokuvala - ithatha ngaphansi kwemizuzu engu-10 ngakho ungasheshi! Kuyafaneleka ngempela ukufika lapho kusengaphambili njengoba ngezinye izikhathi kuphelile emini, ikakhulu uma isimo sezulu singathandeki. Kukhona indawo yomgwaqo lapho ungakwazi khona ukukhosela emvula ukuze ungaqali isimo sezulu esibi njengoba kumnandi ukubukela.

Umzila Ohlukile : Ungakwazi ukufinyelela phezulu kwe-canal basin ngokuqhubekayo ku-Praed Steet. I-Opponite Tune Ihhotela I-Paddington , ngokuhlangana ne-South Wharf Road, kunokufinyelela emgodini ongasese we-canal eduze ne-Superdrug, kanye ne-Tesco Express e-South Wharf Road.

I-Venice encane: Ungaphinde ulandele lezi zikhombisi-ndlela ukuze ufinyelele i- Little Venice . Uma ufinyelela emgodini ungakwenyuka izinyathelo uphinde uwele kodwa kodwa uhlale emgwaqweni we-canal uphinde ulandele umsele wamaminithi angama-10 kuya kwangu-15.
