A foot bridge over the River Don and another confluence with the South Yorks and Tinsley canal. It's not that long ago that it was repainted, though maybe not with an algae resistant paint. If man-made structures weren't regularly maintained, they would soon deteriorate then disintegrate just from plant life, and perhaps the graffiti helps keep vegetative growth at bay. Not my idea of maintenance mind...
