I know that bridge! I once photographed it in black and white. It is still there and I'll return and photograph it again. It is virtually unchanged from the pre-development era. Try copying and pasting the address below.

Also interesting to note, in 'A Taste of Honey' the new flat that Jo (Rita Tushingham) and her mother (Dora Bryan whom I met not long ago), moved to from Stockport, is very close to there. The location can be seen in the early part of the film after they have got off the bus.

Today this area has changed completely, though bits of the old landscape remain, including the bridge and surroundings.

Thanks for this info, always fascinating to make discoveries like this!
