727: Trafford Rd Bridge and Exchange Quay, Salford Quays ©Aidan O'Rourke Jan99

Trafford Rd Bridge is the first of a series of swing bridges which were built in 1894 when the Ship Canal was opened. In the 1990's, Trafford Rd was widened, and a new fixed bridge was constructed alongside the swing bridge, so it will never swing again!
