Clattern Bridge, Medieval road bridge in Kingston upon Thames, England
The bridge features three stone arches made from dressed ashlar stones and flint rubble, spanning across the Hogsmill River with ornamental railings.
Built around 1175, the bridge replaced a Saxon structure and underwent major modifications in 1758 and 1852 when it was widened with red brick additions.
The bridge earned its name from the sound of horses' hooves as they crossed the structure, and served as a goalpost for traditional Shrove Tuesday football games.
Despite being constructed in medieval times, the bridge continues to support modern vehicle traffic while maintaining its Grade I listed building status.
Environmental improvements in 2012 included the installation of special tiles to help eels migrate upstream through the water flow under the bridge.
