Trent Bridge — Local services in Nottingham

Ignore the review by Saintie and the lovelocks photo on Ribinraj's review. Those are actually about the nearby suspension bridge, a few hundred yards upstream although it is indeed a very pleasant crossing over the River Trent (for pedestrians only) but it is not Trent Bridge. Actual Trent Bridge has no 'lovelocks' on it (at present & long may that continue) and is very solid so definitely does not wobble if you jump up & down on it - or even if you drive a tank over it, which thankfully doesn't happen often but who knows what the future holds?

And I think the review by Mark AB is actually about the bridges over the Trent some significant distance even further upstream which form part of Nottingham's dual-carriageway ring-road.

Actual Trent Bridge is one bridge which (on the south side) happens to have nearby remains of a predecessor bridge that was built many years earlier. (nb. 'remains' only and, as explained below, you probs need to be on foot & looking carefully to see them but you can walk on and around these remains so it's worth treating them as a bonus archeological attraction to the current Trent Bridge). But there is one single, single carriageway bridge called Trent Bridge.

Trent Bridge - importantly an actual bridge, not a cricket ground or pub which happen to be located nearby and sometimes named after it, but a busy & functional road bridge with adequate pedestrian path on both sides and underneath both ends. Where would we be without it?? Probably on the wrong side of the river.

Also, regarding what it says in one of the other reviews about the nearby pub being named after it, the pub was so named many, many years before it was purchased by the well-known chain which is (at the time of writing) in residence there.

Finally (until I think of something else to add) let me repeat because even a lot of 'local' people aren't really aware of this it is, like the current railway bridge over the Tay at Dundee, not the original bearer of it's name & location and like the railway one mentioned it also has remains of the previous incarnation visible for all to admire (but only at the south end & only on foot, but you can...

This review is specifically for the public toilets at Trent Bridge and not the bridge itself. You have to pay 20p to go in, but given how atrocious the conditions are, I should expect to BE paid 20p to enter in the first place. I was travelling with 2 pensioners (who also happen to be my grandparents), both of which need the bathroom on a regular basis, one of which could not find the toilet paper and had to use tissues from her handbag, the other couldn't figure out the payment system and the machine ate up 40p of his coins before it allowed him in. The place needs a clean. Coming from someone who has experienced some pretty dirty public bathrooms across the world, I can safely say that these ones are absolutely diabolical. ...

A wonderful spot with great river side walks going right from nottingham west bridgford over to beeston, attenborough nature reserve and further in one direction, and to holme peerpoint watersports centre in the other with a myriad of paths to pick up canal routes, across fields and to lovely quiet spots all along the...
