This pedstrian bridge was constructed c.1923 as part of the development of Barry Isalnd as a democratic seaside resort aimed at the working classes of the industrial areas of South Wales. In 1909, Lord Windsor of Friars Point House had gifted the land between the high watermark of Whitmore Bay and Friars Road to the Barry Urban District Council for this purpose.
It is a concrete built single arch span located above a pedestian walkway. It has recessed spandrel panels to either side and a parapet above. The parapet is divided into three panels with pierced slits. There are abuttments below in rock faced stone with flanking stone revetment walls to either side.
