Mathematical Bridge Across the Cam

Beyond Cloister Court at Queen's College, Cambridge, the wooden Mathematical Bridge leads over the river Cam to college gardens. The current bridge is a 1902 reconstruction of the original built in 1749. The bridge is so-called, Mathematical, because it was built without nails, relying for its strength on meticulous calculation.
