The bridge runs across the railway track near Faversham Station. The footbridge has carried thousands of residents, churchgoers and passengers over the railway between Station Road and the church in St Catherine’s Drive, since the early 20th century. In 2018 it was closed because it was feared that it wasn't strong enough to support the numbers of people that stand on it during the annual hop festival. It was refurbished, strengthened and reopened in May, 2019. The graffiti problem hasn't been solved though and attempts to keep it free of the 'art work' have been abandoned, apparently.
