Conway's Bridge
Conway's Bridge (or the "Ragged Arch") is an ornamental rustic arched stone structure close to the River Thames on the estate of Park Place, Berkshire, England. [1]
It was designed by Humphrey Gainsborough, brother of the artist Thomas Gainsborough, and built in 1763 using stones from the ruins of Reading Abbey. The bridge is named after Henry Seymour Conway (1721–1795), a former Governor of Jersey.
It still carries traffic on the road between Wargrave and Henley-on-Thames.
