Description
Marlow Bridge is a river suspension bridge built between 1831 and 1836 by William Tierney Clark, who was a pupil of Thomas Telford and an assistant to John Rennie. The bridge features iron chains supported by a pair of stone Doric triumphal arches set on rusticated piers. The iron railings along the wooden footways are topped with contemporary "Palm Tree" heads. Clark is also known for designing other bridges, including those at Hammersmith and Budapest, although the Hammersmith bridge has since been destroyed. The bridge underwent substantial restoration in 1956-1957, resulting in much of the ironwork and chains being replaced, but its appearance has remained unchanged. Part of the bridge is listed as 1/60 for the former Urban District of Marlow, now included in Wycombe District in Buckinghamshire.
