What does a giant Crunchie, a massive Cornish pastie, a golden slug, a folded crumpet, a fortune cookie and a chunk of cheese have in common? Well, these are all the nicknames given to the divisive golden bridge which was lifted into one city centre two years ago.
The landmark 160ft long footbridge links Swansea city centre to Swansea Arena which opened a year later in March 2022. When the bridge was first erected on Oystermouth Road as part of the Copr Bay development, it caused controversy as people described its appearance in the most imaginative of ways.
Some said it looked like the inside of a crunchie, some likened it to a crispy pancake and others celebrated its distinctive look. Two years on, people are still divided over the glistening gold bridge and shared their thoughts on the unique landmark.
