Spanning the gap of the old Rodwell railway line, a tubular steel footbridge allows passage. The structure is made by Tubewright's of Liverpool. The company evolved from a steel firm to produce the novel concept of welded tube frames and opened a factory in Kirby in the post-war period. There are several such examples around the country, with the distinctive round maker's plate on them.
