Wilmington bridge

Wilmington bridge
Wilmington swing bridge over the River Hull was built by the North Eastern Railway and is Grade II Listed.. It opened on 7 May 1907, and replaced the original 1853 bridge. Railway use ceased in 1968, and it is now used as a footpath and cycleway.

Lots of stuff on the replacement works here:

Interesting article, thanks for the link. Does the bridge still swing?
