Description
Bristol Bridge is a bridge built between 1764 and 1768 by James Bridges, later widened in 1873-1874. It is constructed of Courtfield limestone ashlar and cast iron, showcasing a classical style. The bridge features a central segmental arch flanked by two semicircular arches, all adorned with rusticated voussoirs, soffits, and pilaster strips. The structure is topped with a cast-iron deck from around 1873, supported by paired cast-iron Doric columns that extend to steel pavements.
Historically, the bridge is similar to the original Westminster Bridge. It was initially built by Thomas Paty, and although the Portland stone balustrade and four domed toll houses were removed during the 1873-1874 works, they were illustrated by Samuel Jackson in 1824.
