GV II*
Road bridge over former Great Western Railway in Sydney Gardens. c1840. By IK Brunel, Engineer to the Great Western Railway.
MATERIALS: Limestone ashlar.
EXTERIOR: Angled semi-elliptical arch with abutment to west, has plain coped parapet with plinth and cornice over arch which steps down and forward at west side, similar lower parapet to east curves to join lower retaining wall of railway (qv).
HISTORY: This bridge forms part of the exceptionally picturesque sequence of railway structures driven through Sydney Gardens, relating to the outstanding GWR mainline from London to Bath. H.E. Goodridge is believed to have acted as surveyor to the Great Western Railway at this time and may well have overseen the design of this bridge. Modern plaque on north-west spandrel erected by the Brunel Society commemorates its construction.
