Never knew about that bridge in Hull, it looks very interesting. Some other pedestrian bridges in the UK not mentioned before:

Iron Bridge
Located in a quaint part of Shropshire, the Iron Bridge is the world’s first arch bridge constructed (between 1775-1779) from cast iron. Now 234 years old, the bridge (and surrounding settlements) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its connection to the Industrial Revolution. Due to its age and construction it is unsuitable for automobiles.

Gateshead Millennium Bridge
A pedestrian & cycling bridge opened in 2001 that mimics the design of Newcastle’s famous (upstream) Tyne Bridge. The bridge can also tilt to allow boats to travel up the river.

Shad Thames
I noticed that people had previously posted bridges connected buildings, so what better than to include the various bridges connecting warehouses in Shad Thames near Tower Bridge.

Bridge of Aspiration
Connects the Royal Opera House in London’s Covent Garden to the Royal Ballet School on the opposite side of Floral Street.
