Morrissey crossed this bridge on his dreaded daily commute to school. ‘Under the iron bridge we kissed, even though we ended up with sore lips’. The line immortalised in the classic Smiths single ‘Still Ill’. Various graffiti from Morrissey's lyrics now adorns the bridge, you can take in the view of Saddleworth Moors from here on a clear day.
