The ramps either side of the bridge enabled horses to cross where the towpath changed sides. The bridge once led to the shared forecourts of London Road High and Low Level stations. The forecourts' blue-brick retaining wall is to the left. There is now no trace of the High Level station, but the Great Northern's grand terminus, straight ahead, a sort of red-brick Loire chateau by the Nottingham architect T C Hine, remains and is now a health and fitness club. Nottingham canalside improvements have spruced up this area no end.
