Richmond Railway Bridge

Richmond Railway Bridge

Richmond Railway Bridge in Richmond, south-west London crosses the River Thames in a north-east to south-west alignment. It carries National Rail services operated by South West Trains from London Waterloo to Reading, and lies between Richmond and St. Margarets stations.

After the railway came to Richmond station in 1846, the line was extended to Windsor and the Joseph Locke designed cast iron bridge was opened in 1848. Due to concerns over its structural integrity, the bridge was rebuilt reusing the existing piers and abutments at the beginning of the 20th century to a design by the London & South Western Railway's chief engineer, J W Jacomb-Hood. It reopened again in 1908. The new bridge was very similar in appearance to the old one. [ [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/615552 Geograph web site.] ]
