Description
Conway Bridge, located at the foot of Happy Valley, is a road bridge built in 1763. It was designed by Thomas Pitt, the first Lord Camelford, with engineering contributions from Reverend Humphrey Gainsborough, who was the brother of the famous painter Thomas Gainsborough. The bridge carries the Henley-Wargrave road and features a single arch made of cyclopian blocks that imitate rockwork, through which the River Thomas can be seen. The rockwork used for the bridge and its approach walls is believed to have come from Reading Abbey. The bridge was constructed for General Conway of Park Place.
