I have promised to photograph every bridge in Cork City but at times I have difficulty identifying or finding any interesting information about them and, to be honest, many are at best unattractive.

On some maps this is shown as being the Wellington Bridge while others show it as being the Thomas Davis Bridge and some of the nearby business enterprises [for example the Bridge View Flowers Shop] list their address as Wellington Bridge.

This is described as a fine nineteenth-century bridge, originally called Wellington Bridge, which retains much of its historic fabric. Built by G.R. Pain, the attribution of the design remains uncertain, and may have been designed by Pain or possibly by John Richard Griffin. The carefully executed stone work is a reminder of the skill of the masons who were involved in its construction. In constant use today, and taking substantially more traffic than its originally designers could have imagined, it is a testament to nineteenth-century engineering. The renaming of the bridge to reflect political changes is common throughout the country.
