Description
London Bridge and causeway to the north is a bridge built around 1805. It is constructed from coursed squared limestone and limestone ashlar. The bridge features three elliptical arches with double keystones and decorative paterae in the spandrels. The piers have plinths and cutwaters on either side. The parapets are panelled and stone-coped, made of ashlar, with a raised band at the base. On the upstream side, there is a relief of the Swan of Buckingham, while the downstream side displays the coat of arms of the Marquis of Buckingham, made of Coade stone and dated 1805. This coat of arms includes supporters and the marquis' coronet, along with the impressed mark COADE & SEELY LAMBETH. The causeway at the northern end is made of coursed rubble with stone coping and features a small segmental-headed arch near the bridge end. The bridge was primarily funded by the 1st Marquis of Buckingham as part of a new southern approach to the town.
