Wyke Beck Footbridge - Oakwood, UK - Stone Bridges on Waymarking.com

"Wyke Beck is a stream that runs from Roundhay Park to the River Aire in east Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. Described as an Urban Beck, the stream flows through housing estates and then an industrial landscape in its lower reaches. Wyke Beck has been prone to flooding so often, that remediation of its course and flood storage schemes have been initiated by Leeds City Council." link

The middle arch is over the beck an at first sight it looks like the outer arches of the bridge have a path under them on the river back.

In reality though the footpath alongside the river is further back and the outer arches to cope with flooding which has happened regularly.

A cycling and walking path follows the route of the beck from Roundhay Park to Temple Newsham and this footbridge connects the path to a nearby housing estate.
