History
Previous bridges 1855 and 1900. Roses planted in 1850s by Du Cane survive at both approaches. A timber bridge over Swan River between Guildford and Caversham (between Meadow Street, Guildford and West Swan Road, Caversham). The bridge crosses a wide stretch of floodplain on the Caversham side. The piles are whole Jarrah trunks and the roadway is also carried on whole tree trunks. Some of the piles on the floodplain have been replaced by steel posts. The earthworks of earlier bridges (probably dating back to the original bridge on the site completed in 1854) remain adjacent to the present bridge.
Condition
Good (later bridge is in good condition as there have been many replacements since the original 1854). Newer Bridge was built in 1950.
