Victoria Bridge, Royal Leamington Spa
Image: © Jaggery Taken: 19 Apr 2015
Carrying the B4087 over the River Leam. Built c1807-1810, widened in 1839-1840 with later repairs. I don't know if the bridge was originally named, but it was probably named Victoria Bridge after it was widened. An inscription http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4516562 on the bridge dated 1840 refers to the "Celebration of the Birthday of Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria." Victoria's 21st birthday was on May 24th 1840.
