Description

The railway footbridge on Harbour Road in Kinghorn was likely built around 1850. It is made of cast iron and features a diamond lattice design, with ball-finialled newels and decorative cast-iron braces. The bridge has steps leading up from the northeast and southwest to a platform supported by four iron piers arranged in a square. It is a single span T-projection bridge that crosses the railway line to connect to higher ground.
