Farningham Bridge

Farningham Bridge is a Grade II listed structure located on Farningham High Street. It was built in 1773 under the direction of Edward Grey, as noted on a tablet on the north parapet. The south parapet features a tablet stating that the bridge was repaired by the County and widened through public subscription in 1833, with John Whichcord serving as the County Surveyor at that time. This bridge is significant as it carries the main road from London to Dover, following the route of the Roman Watling Street. The north side of the bridge is constructed from red brick and features four segmental arches with pointed cutwaters between them, topped by a stone parapet. The south side is made of buff bricks and has three segmental arches, also topped by a stone parapet, with the inner side made of red brick.
