Lockdown Resources
We've been busy creating and publishing new content during the lockdown.
On this page, you’ll find links to all of our resources, some brilliant bridge activities developed by friends of the Trust and some downloadable worksheets. We’ll be adding new content throughout lockdown, so bookmark this page and check back for more!
CSB Challenges
Beat that lockdown boredom! Every Friday during the first lockdown, we released a bridge-related challenge for you to complete. You’ll find all of the instructions and downloads for each challenge on our Featured Content page.
Educational resources
Homeschooling? Bring the bridge to your home during lockdown with our teaching resources!
Something to Read
Our history pages are full of stories about the bridge. Find out about Brunel, how he impacted Bristol and how we celebrated his 200th birthday. Hear the story of the life-saving dress, the hurtling turnip and the life of the illuminations. Find more about bridges and Bristol over on our blog too.
Something to watch
