Marlow Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marlow Bridge is a road and foot traffic bridge over the River Thames between the town of Marlow in the English county of Buckinghamshire and the village of Bisham in the county of Berkshire. There has been a bridge on the site since the reign of King Edward III.
The current bridge is a suspension bridge, designed by William Tierney Clark and built from 1829 to 1832, and was a prototype for the nearly identical but larger Széchenyi Chain Bridge across the River Danube in Budapest.
The bridge now has a weight restriction on it, and is used only by foot and local road traffic. Its place in the national road network has been taken by the busy modern Marlow By-pass Bridge.
