Plaque on Bursledon Bridge
The bridge carries the A27 (Bridge Road) over the River Hamble. The plaque reads
COUNTY OF SOUTHAMPTON
This bridge was erected
by the
COUNTY COUNCIL
with the aid of contributions from
THE MINISTER OF TRANSPORT
1933-35
ENGINEER A. C. Hughes, County Surveyor
CONTRACTORS Peter Lind & Co, Westminster
Southampton is of course within the county of Hampshire but in 1997 it became a unitary authority and thus is an administrative county. I was not aware that Southampton was also a county in 1933.
