Properly called simply the "Wooden Bridge".
There is a pleasing but false legend that this was designed by Sir Isaac Newton and held together with no bolts, until one day it was taken apart by people less brilliant than Newton who were then unable to put it together again.
The bridge joins the modern western part of Queens' College to its older eastern part.
