Upminster Bridge
Upminster Bridge is a crossing of the River Ingrebourne carrying the A124 road between the suburbs of Hornchurch and Upminster in northeast London, England. The bridge is known to have existed since at least 1375 and the current brick bridge was opened in 1892, replacing a series of wooden bridges. It gave its name to the nearby Upminster Bridge tube station, which opened in 1934, and has also been applied to the neighbourhood around the station in the London Borough of Havering.
==Etymology==
The bridge has been alternatively known as Bridge House Bridge and Lower Bridge, with ''Bridge House'' referring to a house which stood nearby on the current site of Hornchurch Stadium.〔 The placename ''Upminster'' is first recorded in 1062 as ''Upmynstre'' and is recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book. It is formed from Old English ''upp'' and ''mynster'', possibly meaning the large church on high ground, above the valley of the Ingrebourne.〔 However, it may also indicate the position of an Anglo-Saxon minster secondary to those at Barking or Tilbury.〔Blair, John (2005). The Church in Anglo-Saxon Society. Oxford University Press. p. 102.〕
