Article taken from Illustrated London News.
This Royal Family holiday in Balmoral was broken by the death of the Duke of Wellington which brought the Court unexpectedly back to Windsor in October 1852. Their route took them through Edinburgh, Preston, Chester, and North Wales, where they inspected, on the 14th of October, the Britannia tubular bridge over the Menai Strait. The Queen drove through the bridge in a State carriage drawn by men, while Prince Albert, accompanied by Mr. R. Stephenson, walked across on the roof of the tube. On reaching the south end, the party descended to the water's edge, from which they obtained a complete view of the magnificent proportions of the gigantic structure.
