		Marlow Bridge is an iron suspension bridge built in 1832 by William Tierney Clark and has one of the best visual appearance of any bridge on the non-tidal Thames.
		This bridge, also known as the Queen Elizabeth Bridge, was designed by the engineers of Berkshire and Buckinghamshire County Councils in association with the architect Courtney Theobald and is of similar construction to the Marlow By-pass Bridge described earlier.
		In about 1795 the bridge became unsafe and the ferry was introduced again by George III until 1811 when the Crown used its influence to insist that a new bridge be built by the Counties of Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.
