Woden Street Footbridge

This footbridge, constructed in 1873, spans the River Irwell at the end of Woden Street, Ordsall, Salford and links Salford with Manchester. Manchester is on the right bank of the river as seen here. This bridge is also known as Mark Addy's Bridge in honour of a local man, Mark Addy (1838-1890), who owned a riverside tavern and is reputed to have saved at least 50 people from drowning in the river.
