Farewell to bridge with iconic cathedral view

Work to demolish a pedestrian bridge in Lincoln has been completed.

Scott's Bridge, on Melville Street, was brought down over the weekend.

The work was part of a Lincolnshire Co-op scheme to build a new hotel and residential development at the nearby former City Square shopping centre.

The bridge was a popular spot for photographers due to the scenic views it provided of the city's cathedral.

Earlier this month, members of Dunholme Camera Club visited the bridge to bid farewell.

Graham Halliday said he understood that redeveloping the area was important, but he said the bridge was an "iconic place" that offered direct views of the cathedral.

The Co-op said last month that it was in "advanced negotiations" with an international hotel developer and operator, and there had also been interest from several developers for residential properties on the rest of the site, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
