I can't seem to find a decent old photo to see if it was originally like that or if it has been added as a safety feature. I know what you mean, it did have the look of that when you were up close.

I like the side rail to stop you falling off, but adding the wire mesh reminds me of one of those bridges over motorways that the farmers herd their sheep over.

I found it wasn't too noticeable from a distance, but very obvious when you were standing on the bridge. I can’t tell from the old photos if it was there or not.
