Joiner Street Bridge

Erection date: 16/4/2019

Inscription

{Above the South Eastern Railway emblem:}
Joiner Street Bridge erected 1849.
James Warren (1802 - 1870) and W. T. Monzani patented their iron girder in 1848. The triangular frames are cast iron, with a wrought iron bottom chord, and the Grade II listed trusses above this area are some of the earliest surviving examples.

The eastern abutment arches are believed to be remnants of the 1839 London and Croydon Railway terminus station.

Site: Joiner Street Bridge (1 memorial)

The Listing gives more structural detail of the bridge and informs that it was "Reconstructed after collapse of newly-built original in 1850."
