Ha'Penny Bridge - Dublin
Previous Next
Ha Penny Bridge. Accepted as the symbol of Dublin, the Ha'penny Bridge (offically Wellington Bridge after the 'Iron Duke') was opened in 1816. Cast at Coalbrookdale in Shropshire in England, the bridge acquired its unofficial monniker from the toll paid to cross the river - one old half penny. The bridge is the only pedestrian bridge on the Liffey until the new planned bridge further up is constructed next year. The bridge has three lamps supported by curved ironwork over the walkway. Currently badly in need of repair, the bridge moves when being crossed. It is planned to close the bridge for restoration with the addidition of the new Millenium Footbridge.
