Designed by John Arthur Saner, and built in 1899 by Andrew Handyside and Co. It is one of the earliest 'floating' swing bridges in Britain, a large proportion of the weight being supported by a tank floating in a chamber (pontoon tanks floating in a caisson). It is also thought to be the first electrically-driven swing bridge in Britain.
