Richmond Bridge was built in 1777 to replace an earlier ferry boat crossing across the Thames. It was a toll bridge until 1859 and widened in 1937-39. |
Did you know
that in the 17th and 18th Centuries it was
quite normal for the River Thames to freeze over during
the winter? The River Thames is 215 miles long and drains a catchment area of 4,994 square miles. |
