Victoria Bridge, Hereford
Victoria Bridge, Hereford is a foot-bridge in Hereford, opened in 1898 to commemorate the 1897 Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.[1] It is located on Mill Street and crosses the River Wye. The suspension bridge features iron lacework and was built to replace an earlier ferry across the river. It is classified as a Grade II bridge which the United Kingdom states deserves "every effort to preserve them."[2] Its history is highlighted at the Hereford Library and Museum.
