Merchant's
Bridge
Built in 1996 by Whitby
Bird and Partners, a company with lots of experience
in bridge building, this elegant sweeping arch is
actually wider in the middle than at the ends because
it was expected that pedestrians would want to stop in
the middle to enjoy the view.
The bridge won a number
of awards including: the Civic Trust Award 1998,
Design Council Millennium Product 1998 and the British
Construction Industry Award 1996 highly commended. It
is made of white painted steel.
