Lifting Bridge, Bridgemaster'S Office, Railings And Lamps

The lifting road bridge spans the River Hull and was built between 1901 and 1902 by the City Engineer. The bridge features two riveted wrought-iron spans that form a shallow segmental arch, with patterned wrought-iron handrails along the footways on either side. At each end of the bridge, there are brick piers, three of which have the stumps of cast-iron gas lamps. On the west end, on the north side, there is a wooden post topped with a bell. Adjacent to this is a single-storey triangular office made of brick with a slate roof, which has two windows flanked by two doors, all featuring segmental heads and overlights. To the left of the office is an S-plan approach ramp with patterned cast-iron railing that ends in a gas lamp. The bridge is complete and operable, and the mechanism was renewed in the late 20th century.
