Description
Whitchurch Bridge is a road bridge over the River Thames, built in 1902 based on designs by Joseph Morris and constructed by Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Company Ltd. It features a steel lattice-girder design with four spans. The bridge is supported by three piers made of pairs of steel posts with diagonal bracing, which hold up the carriageway that rests on transverse beams and steel jack-arches. The parapets are formed by the lattice girders. The bridge has red brick abutments with stone dressings and terminal piers. The original bridge was a timber structure built in 1792, designed by John Treacher, and was established as a toll bridge, with its original tollhouse still standing. It was rebuilt in wood in 1852 before being replaced by the current steel structure in 1902.
