Vignoles Bridge, Cast iron footbridge in Spon End, Coventry, England.
The Vignoles Bridge spans the River Sherbourne with a single elliptical arch design featuring geometric patterns in its iron balustrades.
Initially constructed in 1835 to cross the Oxford Canal, the bridge was relocated to its current position in Spon End during 1969.
The bridge exemplifies the industrial engineering methods of the 19th century through its cast iron construction and elliptical arch design.
The structure provides pedestrians with a direct path across the River Sherbourne while its tarmac surface ensures safe crossing in all weather.
Deep grooves remain visible in the handrails from when ropes were used to pull barges along the original canal location.
