It was named after Welsh architect John Prichard and leads from the Cathedral to the cemetery. It is a beautiful structure but was completely overgrown when Quadriga were enlisted to carry out full restoration works in 2013. Vegetation was removed before the bridge was sympathetically cleaned and stone indents and in-situ stone repairs were carried out. Finally, new gates and railings were installed to both sides of the bridge.

The chapel sits on the edge of the Castlefield Urban Heritage Park and is a Grade II listed building famous for being bought by Pete Waterman and converted into a recording studio. Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ was recorded there in 1987!
