Description
Kingston Bridge, built between 1825 and 1828, was designed by Edward Lapidge and opened by the Duchess of Clarence, who later became Queen Adelaide. The bridge features five segmental arches made of Portland stone, with rustic stone detailing and a keystone at the center span. Above the arches, there is a bold cornice and balustrade, which is interrupted by the continuation of intermediate pilasters that have sunk panels. The pilasters rise from semi-circular cut waters. The bridge was widened between 1911 and 1914, and half of it is located in the Royal Borough of Kingston.
