Bedford, Suspension Bridge 1921

More about this scene
The hatted ladies are leaving the Suspension Bridge on the north bank, the Embankment Gardens side: casual wear in the 1920s was somewhat more formal than today. The Suspension Bridge now has a neighbour further east linking Long Island with Russell Park: this is Chris Wilkinson's 1998 Butterfly Bridge, another footbridge. Its suspension arches lean outwards like the wings of a butterfly, and it is a worthy and beautiful addition to the riverside scene.
