Sonning Bridge, Grade II listed stone bridge in Sonning, England
The Sonning Bridge spans across the River Thames, connecting the counties of Berkshire and Oxfordshire through a single-lane stone arch construction.
Built in 1775, this bridge replaced an earlier wooden structure that had existed at the same location since the early medieval period around 1530.
The bridge structure features a central stone marker that indicates the historical boundary between the ancient kingdoms of Wessex and Mercia.
Traffic lights control the single-lane vehicle flow on the bridge, which serves as the only crossing point between Henley-on-Thames and Reading.
Contemporary artist Impro has transformed the bridge into an art display by installing replicas of everyday objects, including a red post box and telephone.
