At first glance, the bridge carrying Kingston-upon-Thames's High Street over the Hogsmill River looks modern. However, a look at the arches underneath reveals a medieval bridge, the oldest in Surrey still in use. The noise of clattering horses' hooves has been replaced by the engines of buses. This Abellio bus 459 to New Haw is operated by a company owned by the Dutch Railway. www.kingston.gov.uk
