The original swing bridge was designed to replace a ferry in 1908 - which was then also later replaced by this smaller retractable pedestrian bridge. When fully functional the bridge opens twice daily for river traffic to pass through.

You can read all about it via the handy information board! (See pic).

This bridge is along the national cycle route. The first time I missed it, but yes this is the bridge you need to cross.
