City of Bristol, GB

Langton Street Bridge

Banana Bridge, officially Langton Street Bridge, is a wrought iron arched bowstring footbridge that crosses the New Cut, part of the River Avon flowing through Bristol, England. It is Grade II listed. When it was constructed in 1883 between Langton Street and St. Luke's Road, the bridge was said to

be a temporary route while the nearby Bedminster Bridge was rebuilt. Langton Street has since been lost to bombings in World War 2. Upon completion of Bedminster Bridge in 1884, the temporary bridge was moved upstream to its current position near the former location of Langton Street.
