Place 27: Main Street Bridge / Adrian Mellon
1984Adrian Mellon is thrown from this road bridge. It is downstream of the Kissing Bridge, near the Falcon and bus station. Main Street is bent to cross the canal again beyond the park; that road geometry is an inference.
About Main Street Bridge / Adrian Mellon
Main Street Bridge is a road crossing over the canal in the adult-period town of 1984. It lies downstream from Kissing Bridge and within walking distance of the Falcon and the bus terminal. The bridge is a distinct piece of transport infrastructure, carrying Main Street across the water beyond the Bassey Park district. Its role and neighboring landmarks make it an important anchor for this outer part of the town rather than a generic bridge symbol.
Why this pin is marked A
Named in the novel. The street or the site is named in the text; the exact lot is the atlas’s.
The bridge is marked A because it is identified as Main Street Bridge, placed downstream from Kissing Bridge, and connected by a short approach to the Falcon and bus station. These details distinguish the crossing and fix its order along the canal. The wider map must bend Main Street so it crosses the canal again beyond the park, a geometry not fully described in the source. Exact span position, road curvature, approaches, and bridge dimensions are reconstructed around the stated relationships.
