Description
The swing bridge over the cutting between Greenland Dock and Norway Dock is a Grade II listed structure built in 1855. Designed by engineer James Walker and constructed by Walker, Burges and Cooper, it was originally located at the entrance lock of South Dock but was relocated around 1987. The bridge features wrought-iron plates and angles, showcasing an elegant lightness due to the use of wrought iron with countersunk rivet heads. This makes it an early surviving example of riveted ironwork in bridges. Some welded steelwork has been discreetly added during refurbishment. The original granite kerbs and paving have been reinstated at its new site. This bridge is recognized as the second oldest wrought-iron bridge in the London Docklands.
