GV II
Formerly known as: Swing bridge spanning South Lock SOUTH LOCK. Swing bridge. 1855. Engineer James Walker, built by Walker, Burges and Cooper. Formerly spanning South Dock entrance lock, relocated c1987. Wrought-iron plates and angles. Based on cast-iron precedents but owes its elegant lightness to use of wrought-iron with countersunk rivet heads, an early surviving example of riveted ironwork in bridges. Some welded steelwork discretely added in refurbishment. Original granite kerbs and paving reinstated at the new site. This is the second oldest wrought-iron bridge in the London Docklands.
