Knights Park Bridge was built in 1892. These days it's closed to vehicles. You can see the three fish insignia of the old Royal Borough of Kingston on the wall. This dates back to at least 1481 when the borough was incorporated during Edward 4th's reign. The fish are salmon, from three fisheries that were recorded here in the Domesday Book. http://www.kingston.gov.uk/browse/leisure/museum/kingston_history/kingstons_royal_connections/borough_seal_rc.htm Kingston is now a London Borough and the logo is slightly different. In the background is Kingston University. Kingston facts on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Borough_of_Kingston_upon_Thames
