It looked pretty amazing back in the day; it was a double-decker swing bridge with a control tower raised over the swing point. Here's another old snap, this one from a more similar viewpoint to mine.
When I moved to Hotwells, it was a pedestrian-only bridge, though one half of it still had the overgrown rail tracks from when it was a bottom-deck railway and top-deck road bridge. Since then it's been refurbished and is now combined pedestrian and Metrobus, with a guided channel for the buses. Amusingly, when it was first put in, they managed to make it too narrow for the buses. In fact, it's closed right now for "works on the guideway" so presumably they're still having problems.
