Description

This is an early 19th-century iron footbridge designed by Telford, located between the basin and east dock water areas. The footbridge has been temporarily removed for restoration. It is part of a group that includes Warehouses B, C, G, and I, the Dockmaster's Office, the house next to No. 6 gate, as well as the boundary walls, gate piers, and the footbridge itself in St Katharine's Dock.
