Overview

History & significance

Chertsey Bridge is a stone bridge spanning the River Thames between Chertsey in Surrey and Shepperton in Middlesex. The bridge dates from the eighteenth century, constructed between 1780 and 1785 to a design by John Theobalds, and comprises multiple elliptical arches built of brick and stone. It replaced an earlier timber bridge and became an important crossing point on what developed into a major route between London and the south-west. The bridge remains substantially intact and represents a significant example of late Georgian bridge engineering.
