The footbridge was listed grade 2 in 2000 and the station and its environs sits within the West Hagley Conservation Area. The footbridge was used by Hornby as the basis for its plastic model. The footbridge was fully repainted in late 2011, changing the colours of the bridge from navy blue and white to cream and salmon.
