====Halfpenny Bridge====
<!--Halfpenny Bridge. River Don redirects here-->
[[File:Tinsley - Halfpenny Footbridge.jpg|thumb|top|right|Halfpenny Bridge]] This bridge carries the [[Trans-Pennine Trail]] over the final non-navigable section of the River Don. The [[Sheffield Canal]] joins the Don immediately downstream of this footbridge. A century ago it would have cost half a penny for anyone to use the ferry crossing the Tinsley waterway. But 70 years ago, the ferry – and the charge – was scrapped with the building of a bridge. On 15 October 2001, the current bridge was opened to replace the older unsafe bridge. The current bridge is still named Halfpenny Bridge, but cost half a million pounds. The bridge is of steel bowstring construction, with a {{convert|49|yd|m|adj=on}} span.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/Halfpenny-Bridge-is-priceless.198995.jp |title=Halfpenny Bridge |work=Yorkshire Post |date=15 October 2001 |access-date=6 December 2010}}</ref> The Sheffield Halfpenny Bridge is not to be confused with the [[Halfpenny Bridge]] near Lechlade in Gloucestershire, which marks the start of the navigable River Thames.
