This bridge was constructed in 1924 by the Thames Conservancy
as part of a general reconstruction of the lock, weirs, and surrounding
area. The design was by their Chief Engineer, G. J. Griffiths,
M.I.C.E., dated November 1923. It appears to have been a conscious
copy, at a reduced scale, of the bridge
at Queens' College Cambridge, and the Iffley bridge was even
called Newton's Bridge, in perpetuation of the false
attribution of the Queens' bridge.
