This detailed account of the 1904 reinforcement of Telford's adjacent bridge does not mention the existence of, or building of, an additional footbridge. It does describe adding a cantilevered walkway to one side of Telford's bridge. This walkway was, indeed, built, and can be seen in the linked image on the left side of the older bridge. Thus, it is not entirely clear whether this bridge was actually constructed in 1904 and the work of Alfred Thorne (who was very much associated with the Telford bridge reinforcement project)
