1867. Kingsgate Footbridge. Durham



Dear John,

This is the last structure that Ove Arup designed 
and built himself. It was finished in 1963 and 
Arup considered it his finest work.

Regards,

586. The New Sea Wall, Canvey Island



Dear Norman,

The cutting edge Labworth Cafe was built in 1933 to
resemble the bridge of the splendid and ultra modern
"Queen Mary" as seen from the beach. Remarkably
enough, it is the only building solely designed by
legendary engineer Ove Arup.

Cordially,
R
