Description
Chertsey Bridge, built between 1783 and 1785, is an important structure designed by architect James Paine and is noted for being the least altered of his Thames bridges. The bridge features five main segmental arches, with the center arch being the widest, and has single flood arches on either side that are slightly set back. There are drip stones over the arches. The bridge is constructed from coursed and dressed rubble, with a band at the base of the ashlar parapet and a cornice above. The parapet includes cast-iron panels over the spandrels and breakwaters, which are pointed in plan with rounded tops at the springing of the arches. The bridge is also supported by numerous tie rods and has 1930s lamps installed.
