Summary

Description
English: River Thames: Barnes Bridge The bridge was originally constructed in 1849 to the design of Joseph Locke, utilizing three cast iron spans, which are visible on the upstream or near side of the bridge in this photograph. However doubts about the long term stability of cast iron concerned later Victorian engineers, and a new bridge, using wrought iron trusswork, was built on the downstream side of the original, to the design of Edward Andrews, between 1891 and 1895. The Locke bridge was subsequently abandoned for rail traffic. Today the bridge carries Network Rail's trackwork between Barnes Bridge and Chiswick stations.
