Wikipedia

Wikipedia has a page about Wilford Suspension Bridge

Wilford Suspension Bridge, also known as Meadows Suspension Bridge, was originally known as the Welbeck Suspension Bridge. It is a combined suspension footbridge for pedestrians and cyclists, and aqueduct which crosses the River Trent, linking the town of West Bridgford to the Meadows, in the city of Nottingham, England. It also carries a gas main.

The bridge is owned by Severn Trent Water. It should not be confused with the separate Wilford Toll Bridge.

There is no public right of way along the bridge, and so it can be closed by Severn Trent Water whenever it is deemed expedient to do so.

It is a Grade II listed structure.
