Millmead Footbridge in Flood - Photo by David Plummer
A wooden bridge was built from Millmead to the Jolly Farmer in what is
now Quarry Street. This was replaced in 1934 by the graceful, high
arched, Quarry Hill footbridge.

North of Guildford there is Bower's Lane Bridge, now a footbridge and
superseded by the unglamorous Clay Lane Bridge.
The seven arch
viaduct over Woodbridge Meadows was built for the Guildford via Cobham
railway and connects London Road to the main line station. It opened in
1885. The wooden footbridge looks like an afterthought, but connects the
towpath and now the University to the town.

Onslow Bridge was opened in 1882 to provide a second river crossing,
closer to the railway station.

The footbridges at Millmead are of ancient origin. They were rebuilt
when the Navigation was extended to Godalming. The stone footbridge is
normally dry, the photograph shows it carrying floodwater.

There are several modern road bridges, such as the A3 at
Woodbridge. However, these are functional and have no character, they
have not been included here.
