The first Barnes Bridge C1849

The current bridge showing the Locke span

The current bridge from Barnes Bridge Station
'Barnes Railway Bridge' crosses the
River Thames in
London in a northwest to southeast direction at
Barnes. It carries the
South West Trains Hounslow Loop Line, and lies between
Barnes Bridge and
Chiswick stations. It can also be crossed on foot, and is only one of three bridges in London to combine pedestrian and rail use; the others being the
Fulham Railway Bridge and
Hungerford Bridge.
.
Built in
1849 to a design by
Joseph Locke - and looking very similar to the current
Richmond Railway Bridge which he also designed - it was rebuilt by the London & South Western Railway in
1895. The original Locke span still stands unused on the upstream side.
