The Kissing Bridge at UEA

I've always found this small footbridge over the River Yare in the grounds of the UEA to be a cute, strangely romantic structure. I don't really understand architectural style, but it nevertheless seems to me to have a Parisian or Venetian vibe. Anyhow. I don't seem to be entirely alone - the graffiti scratched into the railings, rather than overtly agressive and territorial, is overwhelmingly of the 'X loves Y' variety.

A small plaque nearby informs us that this bridge was presented to the UEA by Atlas Aggregates Ltd in May of 1979.
