Wokingham Railway Footbridge

Highlight • Historical Site

After two serious accidents, it was decided to build this footbridge in late 1886. Although several footbridges of this type were constructed at the time, very few still exist, and possibly the one in Wokingham is the only one remaining.
It is part of the Blue Plaque Trail (you can see its plaque on one of the footbridge's walls) and is a Grade II listed building.
