It was completed in 1890 by Belfast city surveyor J C Bretland[1] and is named after Prince Albert Victor.

It is located close to the city centre between East Bridge Street and the Albertbridge Road.

All of the cast iron including the decorative lampposts were made in Derby by Andrew Handyside & Co.

The drawings were used for information on the works connected with the bridge and passed to the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland in 2001.
