A Victorian structure designed by James Dredge, a brewer from Bath. Located only a short stroll from Royal Victoria Park and the Royal Crescent.

"In 1836, James Dredge of Bath patented his ‘taper principle,’ in which he proposed that both suspension chains of reducing thickness and inclined wedges be used in the construction of suspension bridges. The advantages of Dredge’s system were threefold. The decreasing thickness of the chains links reduced, in turn, the weight of the bridge, the amount of the wrought iron required to erect it and the time required for its construction. Dredge went on to build some 50 such bridges..." (Colin Rynne, Industrial Ireland 1750-1930: An Archaeology (Cork: The Collins Press, 2006), 335)
