| Description: In the centre of the parapet of Coronation Bridge. Relief showing the wings, neck and head of a phoenix rising from flames. Inscription: A plaque on the bridge says: CORONATION / BRIDGE / JUNE 1953 Commission: Built at the time of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. No further details at present. Questions: Who designed and built the bridge and for what specific purpose? What were the costs and time scale for the project? When was it opened? Why does a Phoenix appear on the bridge - there is also a Phoenix Hotel in the town? Who carved the relief? |
