sidaway bridge

Cleveland has one suspension bridge. It was last used in 1966. After the Hough riots it was vandalised.
It was built over Kingsbury Run, which became notorious with the torso killer in the 1930s. Then the Kinsman side was somewhat Hungarian (Magyar), and the southerly Jackowa side was Polish. By the 1960s, demographic change (euphemism) was in place on the Kinsman side.
The wooden planks have long been gone.
The Kinsman side of the bridge in April 2010. There is some talk now of rehabilitation of the structure, it was a foot bridge. Perhaps part of a bike trail?
