Bourne End Railway Bridge was originally a wooden bridge designed by Brunel in the 1850's. The narrow spans used were unpopular with the river traffic, so it was re-designed and made in steel in 1895. A footbridge was added in 1992 replacing a ferry that crossed a little further upstream.
It's a useful crossing point allowing access for runners to the National Trust managed Cookham Common on the west bank. The Thames Path long distance trail also crosses the bridge on its journey from Wiltshire to London.
