Sheep's Green Bridge is a footbridge over the River Cam in Cambridge, England. It is the second bridge on the river as it flows into Cambridge.[1] It connects Coe Fen near Sheep's Green and Lammas Land. The bridge was opened in 1910 to replace the chain ferry taking ladies over to the bathing place on Sheep's Green.[2] After deterioration in the bridge's condition[3] it was reconstructed in 2006, the decking was relaid and the steps were replaced with ramps.[4]
The bridge is featured in the music video for "High Hopes" by the English Rock Band Pink Floyd, released in 1994.[5]
