Viewed from the tow path this bridge is modern in design but the plaque was almost certainly erected to mark its opening in the 19th cent...
In our photo the plaque can be seen low, to the right of the building, between the two spiky plants in square pots.
15 August is the official VJ Day in the UK so erecting this plaque on Wednesday 16th was perverse.
The pedestal was designed by Elijah Hoole.
