Replaced by the newer one to the north during the 1970s. Hard to believe this carried both the main A259 and a small railway the latter working a line that lead to shingle banks near the breakwater until the early 1960s. The buildings to the right are former railway engine sheds now used as warehousing. The black thing on the pile in the river is a sculpture of a bird. The housing in the background is Denton. This view looks east.
