It reads: "This plaque was unveiled by the chairman of the Urban District Council of Esher in the County of Surrey (Councillor Alan E.A. Charlton F.C.A.) on the 1st November 1971 to commemorate the construction of this bridge which replaces a nine-arch bridge built in 1786 and destroyed by severe floods in September 1968."
