„Caversham Bridge in Reading“

from the gallery of Ian Lewis
Description:

Caversham bridge, built in 1926, spanning the River Thames at Reading, Berkshire. It connects Reading with Caversham on the river's north bank. There has been a bridge here since the 1100s and in 1231 it is mentioned by Henry III who notes the presence of a chapel on the bridge on the side owned by William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke. There was a skirmish here during the Civil War when the Reading side had a wooden drawbridge which was later painted by JMW Turner.
