Godmanchester Chinese Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in Godmanchester, England.
The Chinese Bridge spans a mill stream of the River Great Ouse, featuring white timber construction with ornate Chinese Chippendale architectural details.
The original structure, designed by architect James Gallier in 1827, was replaced by a replica in 1960 and later reconstructed in 2010 by CTS Bridges.
The bridge design reflects the mid-18th century fascination with Chinese architecture that influenced many English decorative elements and garden structures.
The Grade II Listed structure connects the town center to Portholme, Britain's largest meadow, providing access for pedestrians across the waterway.
Local tradition claimed the original bridge was constructed without nails, though later examinations during reconstruction proved this belief incorrect.
