Description
Adelaide Bridge is a road bridge dating from 1891, designed by William de Normanville. The abutments are older, constructed around 1850 by Mr Heritage under the supervision of Mr White, Surveyor to the local Board of Health. Later repairs and restoration work occurred around 1993.
The bridge features engineering brick abutments with stone dressings, riveted steel braced arch girders, and ornate cast-iron balustrades. It has a single 25-metre segmental arch spanned by a series of seven parallel arched girders, which have lattice-work bracing. An ornate cast-iron balustrade runs along the arch. The large brick abutments are remnants of an earlier bridge, featuring parapets; the south abutments include a rusticated segmental arch tunnel. A cast-iron lamp standard is situated on the parapets and balustrades.
William de Normanville served as Borough Engineer and Surveyor of Leamington from 1882 to 1917 and was responsible for engineering the River Leam, including building three of its bridges, remodelling the Pump Rooms and Parade, designing the Swimming Bath, laying out Victoria Park, Mill Gardens and York Promenade.
