On this day back in 1974, work was progressing well on both sides of the estuary. The North Tower had just reached full height, while the caissons (the concrete islands the Barton Tower sits on) were being installed. Both anchorages were also taking shape.

The joy with stunning aerials like these is looking at the surrounding areas and picking out familiar spots, such as the train line through Hessle and Far Ings Road on the South Bank.

On their radios, workers were probably listening to Sugar Baby Love by The Rubettes, which was no.1 in the UK charts. And they were possibly looking forward to seeing The Sting or The Exorcist in the cinemas - or maybe taking the kids to see Herbie Rides Again.

Wilberforce watching over Hull and the new Queen’s Gardens. 5 years since the first version. The line of sight through Queen’s Gardens, The Rose Bowl, City Hall to the centre of The Humber Bridge is very pleasing! @StoryHull @HumBridgeNews @HullMaritime

If you're looking to wrap up the half term break with some free outdoor family fun, then head down to our estate and make a day of it!!!

Why not pick up one of our brand new Humber Bridge Activity Packs from the Humber Wellbeing Hub? Designed for children aged 4+ and their families, the activity book is packed with Humber Bridge and estate-themed puzzles, colouring, activities and fun facts to help little explorers discover more about this iconic landmark and its surrounding environment.

Each pack also includes crayons and paper so children can enjoy our popular rubbing trail while exploring the site. The trail features a series of plaques hidden around the estate. As an introductory offer, the activity pack is free this half term break. Many of the activities can be done at home, so whatever you don't complete during your visit you can finish at home.

Bring some food to eat in our picnic area and watch on as your little ones enjoy Munchie, our funky caterpillar bench for kids. After that you can burn off your lunch using our new outdoor gym. Or you could either walk over the iconic Humber Bridge and enjoy our video tour or simply stroll around the estate. You can also learn lots of interesting local facts on the Chalk Walk and enjoy some amazing art on the Phoenix Sculpture Trail.

The forecast is looking hot and sunny so make sure you bring your sunscreen and stay hydrated. See you there!!!
