Marlow Bridge, Suspension bridge in Marlow, England
The white-painted suspension bridge spans the River Thames with two elegant towers supporting iron chains and connecting Marlow with the village of Bisham point.
William Tierney Clark designed and constructed this Grade I listed bridge between 1829 and 1832 to replace a wooden structure that had collapsed downstream.
The bridge represents early 19th-century engineering progress during the Industrial Revolution, featuring the same design principles as its larger counterpart in Budapest.
The structure maintains a three-tonne weight restriction, allowing only pedestrians, cyclists, and local vehicles to cross while other traffic uses the bypass bridge.
This suspension bridge remains the only one of its type spanning the non-tidal section of the River Thames, with a main span extending 235 feet.
