I have seen this bridge referred to as the Tupenny Bridge reminding folks of the "two penny" toll for crossing. Walking across the bridge, it was a few minutes before I noticed the difference between the two towers. The far tower is much smaller and has only one X-braced panel. The bell-shaped item hanging from the larger tower is a lamp.
