Description
Victoria Bridge is a bridge over the River Leam, constructed between 1807 and 1810, and widened on the west side between 1839 and 1840, with later repairs including those made in 1984. It was designed by H Couchman Junior, with the widening carried out by architect JG Jackson of Leamington and builder Mr Green. The bridge is made of ashlar stone with concrete repairs. It features three arches over the river, with rusticated voussoirs and a cavetto-moulded cornice. Above the cornice is a frieze and a balustrade with a chamfered plinth, vase balusters, and wide piers with copings. The bridge rises in height towards the center. At the south-west end, the parapet curves for approximately one meter and connects to the Victoria Colonnade. The south-east side has retaining walls and a parapet that curve for about three meters. A stone at the south-east corner, which is badly worn, is inscribed: 'THIS STONE WAS LAID BY HENRY JEPHSON M.D. ON THE 25TH. MAY 1840 IN COMMEMORATION OF THE EXTENSION OF THIS BRIDGE AND IN CELEBRATION OF THE VISIT OF HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA'.
