The original bridge carrying the railway line from Waterloo to Windsor and Reading over the River Thames was designed and built by the engineer Joseph Locke in 1848. However the failure of a similar cast-iron bridge caused considerable concerns over Locke's design, and the bridge was replaced in 1908. The new bridge used the original abutments and piers but with new decking and superstructure. The bridge was refurbished in 1984, and is between Richmond and St Margarets stations.

This rear-view of Tower House was taken at a time when the whole riverside site was being cleared for development in 1985, having stood derelict for some time beforehand. Tower House itself, and some of the riverside facades were retained as part of the new development.

There are several of these arched riverside businesses in Richmond, but many are now given over to arts and crafts shops, etc. Up the stairs are the Pitcher & Piano restaurant and an Italianate building with tower.
