Kew Bridge

Kew Bridge is a road bridge built in 1903 by Sir John Wolfe Barry and Cuthbert Breveton. It features three elliptical arches spanning the River Thames, with a series of smaller arches supporting the long approaches. The bridge is constructed of granite, showcasing rustic voussoirs and a bracketed cornice beneath the parapet. Notably, it includes cartouches displaying the coats of arms of Surrey and Middlesex in the spandrels on either side of the central arch. This structure replaced a stone arched bridge built between 1784 and 1789 by James Paine, which itself succeeded a seven-arched bridge constructed from 1758 to 1759 by John Barnard. Part of the bridge is located in the London Borough of Richmond.
