Bedford, The Suspension Bridge 1898

More about this scene
This is downstream beyond the 1813 Ouse bridge to the Embankment area, with a view of the parks and gardens mostly laid out during Joshua Hawkins's mayoralty in the 1880s. The parks and river walks are wonderful assets for the townspeople, and are still as popular as when they were first laid out. Crucial to Hawkins's plans was the linking of the south and north banks: this graceful suspension bridge, designed by John Webster and built in 1888, achieved this.
