Conway's Bridge

Conway's Bridge
Henry Conway of Park Place, after whom the bridge is named.

Conway's Bridge is an ornamental rustic arched stone structure close to the River Thames on the estate of Park Place, Berkshire, England. It was designed by Humphrey Gainsborough, brother of the artist Thomas Gainsborough, and built in 1763. The bridge is named after Henry Seymour Conway (1721–1795). It still carries traffic on the road between Wargrave and Henley-on-Thames.
