Pero’s Bridge

St. Augustine’s Reach, Bristol BS1 - England, UK

Map

This innovative footbridge opened in 1999 to link the waterfront leisure facilities on either side of St Augustine’s Reach. In an unusual collaboration, Irish artist Eilís O’Connell worked on the design with engineers Arup. The sculpted horns are counterweights which lift the central span clear for river craft. Pero was a black slave brought to Bristol from the Caribbean island of Nevis in 1783 as a servant of wealthy Bristol merchant John Pinney.
