Provided by the St Pancras Vestry and the Metropolitan Board of Works. Slightly cambered cast-iron girder bridge. Cast-iron panelled parapets with relief moulded rectangles; similar parapets on bridge deck provide pedestrian walkways. Brick abutments with stone coping. Stone plaque {the Guilders Stone} in north-east abutment recording the rebuilding."
