I crossed it as a child, and I believe my mother used it daily on her way to school. It’s still used today by walkers who want to avoid crossing the new, busy road.

You’re welcome.
I would be interested in any further information. The link I posted refers to the children crossing that bridge to get to school. My mother was one of them. And I, myself, crossed the bridge during my childhood.
