Swing bridge over cutting between
Greenland Dock and Norway Dock
GV II
Formerly known as: Swing bridge spanning South Lock SOUTH
LOCK.
Swing bridge. 1855. Engineer James Walker, built by Walker,
Burges and Cooper. Formerly spanning South Dock entrance lock,
relocated c1987. Wrought-iron plates and angles. Based on
cast-iron precedents but owes its elegant lightness to use of
wrought-iron with countersunk rivet heads, an early surviving
example of riveted ironwork in bridges. Some welded steelwork
discretely added in refurbishment. Original granite kerbs and
paving reinstated at the new site.
This is the second oldest wrought-iron bridge in the London
Docklands.
