Description

SOUTHWARK

TQ3479 SPA ROAD 636-1/6/717 Railway Bridge 03/07/79

II

Railway bridge. 1836. By Colonel Landmann, engineer. For the London and Greenwich Railway. Brick semicircular arch carried on rows of 14 cast-iron Doric columns which separate the carriageway from narrower arched footways on either side. The whole now incorporated in a much larger railway bridge. Of interest as one of the 2 surviving bridges from London's first railway line, the London and Greenwich, opened as far as Deptford in 1836 (see also Abbey Street (qv)). Spa Road to Deptford was opened 8 February 1836, so this railway bridge was the first to be built in London, and the oldest that remains operational.
