What is recorded here

Single-span footbridge, built 1927, spanning River Lee. Wrought-iron lattice construction supported by wrought-iron towers at either side on block bases. Lattice parapet. Wooden plank walkway.
This unusual and dramatically sited bridge is an important pedestrian crossing over the River Lee and replaced an earlier ferry crossing. Named Daly Bridge, it is better know locally as the Shaky Bridge due to the movement of its carriageway. Designed by Cork City Engineer S.W. Farrington with steelwork by the London-based David Rowell & Company of Westminster, it is the only suspension bridge in Cork city. Spanning 160 feet, it represents a significant technical and engineering feat.
