On the Bridge to the Cathedral
Stradling the River Derwent in Derby is this ‘swing bridge’…. it is a relatively new addition to the river crossing designed for cycles and walkers only.
Not sure why it is a swing bridge, just a vanity project by the Council. No large vessels or masted yachts navigate this part of the Derwent and haven’t done for over 200 years. The fact that the bridge is able to swing is absolutely pointless, as within 200 metres in either direction are historic stone bridges, with arches that are as low if not even lower to the water level than this. Bridges that carry high volumes of Road Traffic.
Aesthetically pleasing true… but functionality low.
