Howley Bridge

The Howley Bridge is a pedestrian Footbridge which spans the River Mersey in Warrington, England. This Bridge connects Howley, Warrington to Latchford, Cheshire Victoria Park.

The bridge was constructed in 1912 by the London-Based David Rowell & Co.[1] The structure is of a Suspension bridge design and is constructed primarily of Wrought iron with steel suspension cables and a timber planked walkway.

The Bridge is similar in construction, appearance and in properties to other bridges made by the company, with an example being Daly's Bridge. The Howley Bridge also shares the same shakiness with which the Daly's Bridge is known for.

The Bridge is also a registered Grade II* listed building.[3]
