Lawton Park Footbridge
Description
This bridge appears to have replaced another one at this site. Although the remaining foundations of the previous span suggest a wider bridge, there is no evidence that a road once existed here.Not certain about the date of the current bridge, however it does appear to have been here for some time.

Didn't think of that one James.......
I looked at them both and they have some similarities....and some differences. But it is certainly possible they come from around the same time period.
