looks familiar - bet the car park is a bit fuller than we last stopped there.

Nope - the car park was much emptier. And it was snowing more heavily when we visited.

Are these generic designs based on the Middlesborough transporter bridge?

Of the twenty or so transporter bridges that were built around the world, only eight remain today:​

• The Bizkaia Bridge, the world's first transporter bridge, near Bilbao (Spain),
• The Martrou Transporter Bridge at Rochefort and Echillais (France),
• The Osten-Hemmoor and Rendsburg transporter bridges (Germany),
• The three British transporter bridges in Middlesbrough, Newport and Warrington (United Kingdom),
• The Transporter Bridge of La Boca in Buenos Aires (Argentina).

Having come together to form an association, the authorities that manage these Transporter Bridges have made a joint application to UNESCO to be listed as a World Heritage series.
Answered my own question!
