Teston Bridge is a road bridge across the River Medway, between Teston and West Farleigh in Kent, England.

History

{{stack|}}

The bridge was constructed in the 14th or 15th century and comprises six arches of various heights and widths, the middle three of which span the river.[1]

Three of the arches were rebuilt at the beginning of the 19th century and the parapet may also have been rebuilt. The bridge is a Grade I listed building and a scheduled ancient monument.[1][1]

Description

Teston Bridge is built of coursed rag-stone with ashlar capping stones to the parapets. The bridge is narrow, only wide enough to permit traffic to pass in one direction at a time and the parapets feature pedestrian refuges continued up from the cutwaters on each side.[2] It carries the B2163 road, which is crossed on the level by the Medway Valley Line just west of the bridge. The crossing was the site of {{stnlnk|Teston Crossing Halt}},[3] which was open from 1909–59.[4]
