Historique
In 1927 the Joint Thames Bridges Committee was formed as a joint undertaking between Surrey County Council and Middlesex County Council to construct new bridges over the River Thames between the two counties. By 1903 the two Councils had provided the present King Edward VII bridge at Kew (Kew Bridge), designed by John Wolfe Barry, and subsequently erected three new bridges at Hampton Court, Twickenham and Chiswick.
Kingston Bridge connects Kingston to Hampton Court Park and carries the A308 road. It was first constructed in the medieval period, but a new bridge was erected in 1825. In 1912-1914 the bridge was widened, with the carriageway increased from 25 feet to 55 feet. A new facade of Portland stone was also added.
