Cette poutre de suspension a été installée sur le pont de la tour Eiffel, connu auparavant sous le nom du pont de la rue Montcalm.

Le texte inscrit sur une plaque près du pont de la tour Eiffel se lit comme suit:

"Morceau de la poutre de suspension de l'ancien escalier sud de la tour Eiffel offert par Monsieur Jacques Chirac, Maire de Paris, à Monsieur Michel Légère, Maire de Hull.

Ce morceau de la Tour Eiffel vient ainsi signifier visiblement, physiquement et mentalement l'identité culturelle de la ville de Hull et son appartenance à la culture française."

Michel Légère, Maire
Le 25 Juillet 1990
