Wilmington Bridge

Wilmington Bridge is an electric pedestrian swing bridge in Hull, England, United Kingdom. It connects Wincolmlee on the west side to a toepath on the east side which leads on to Foster Street and Stoneferry Road. It used to be a railway bridge.

Description
Wilmington Bridge looks worn, but still functions well and is the most opened bridge on the river, according to Hull City Council.

It was built by the North Eastern Railway in 1904 to replace the old railway bridge which was built in 1853. The Hull and Holderness Railway to Hornsea and Withernsea crossed the river at this point, and was close to Wilmington railway station.

However, the railway was closed in the 1960s, and has since been converted into a footpath and cycleway bridge. Most of the railway itself is also now toepaths.
