Description
This is a railway bridge built in 1836 by Colonel Landmann, an engineer, for the London and Greenwich Railway. It features a brick semicircular arch supported by rows of 14 cast-iron Doric columns, which separate the main carriageway from narrower arched footways on either side. The bridge is now part of a larger railway structure. It is significant as one of the two remaining bridges from London's first railway line, which was opened as far as Deptford in 1836. The section from Spa Road to Deptford was opened on 8 February 1836, making this railway bridge the first to be constructed in London and the oldest still in operation.
