The first thing I always want to know when I see anything about great
engineering or any natural beauty spot, is where is it in the world.
To help you I have put a series of maps so you can find out for your
self. On the north bank it is Kingston Upon Hull, or Hessle and on
the south bank it is Barton on Humber. The bridge is named after the
River Humber which it spans and it is the southern boundary of the
East Riding Of Yorkshire and the northern boundary of North Lincolnshire
in England. UK. The picture is taken from the south side of the bridge. |

get an idea of their location, I have marked the area where both the
River Humber and the Humber Bridge are in England. The distances to
various towns and cities are from the nearest city to the bridge,
