Lady Bay Bridge

Lady Bay Bridge

Lady Bay Bridge is a road bridge of two lanes that spans the River Trent in West Bridgford, Nottingham. It is the bridge following (downstream) from Trent Bridge and connects the main thoroughfare of Radcliffe Road (on the south side) with Meadow Lane (on the north side).

Originally, the bridge was the rail crossing for the Midland Railway from Melton Mowbray to Nottingham Station (formerly known as "Nottingham Midland"). When this line was abandoned in 1968, plans were made to convert the river crossing and so relieve pressure on Trent Bridge. However, these works were not complete until the early 1980s.

The bridge was once used as an Eastern Bloc rail crossing in the 1979 TV Series "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" based upon the novel by John le Carre that starred Sir Alec Guinness.
