This late nineteenth-century pedestrian bridge is a significant contributor to the architectural heritage of the city, and it makes a notable and positive addition to the streetscape. This functional structure is enhanced by artistic details, such as the floral tie-plates and decorative pier details. The bridge is an interesting example of the materials and design utilised in the construction of late nineteenth-century utilitarian structures.
