Victoria Bridge, Hereford

Victoria Bridge is a footbridge spanning the River Wye in Hereford, connecting both banks with decorative iron railings. The structure is a Grade II listed building and remains in its original architectural style.

The bridge opened in 1898 to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, replacing an earlier ferry service. It represents late 19th-century engineering methods in its design.

The bridge takes its name from Queen Victoria and displays ornamental ironwork typical of the Victorian era. Visitors can notice these fine details in the craftsmanship while crossing on foot.

The bridge is located on Mill Street and is directly accessible on foot from both sides of the river. The surface is paved for pedestrian use and access is always free.

The bridge underwent major restoration in 2006 that reinforced its iron framework and restored its original colors. This work preserved the Victorian structure for future generations to experience.
