    Bridge Triathlon

    The popular Triathlon events take place throughout the year. There are race options for all abilities and children and the course is a mixture of swimming, running and cycling. For more info on future events, check out our Events section here [Link to Events section of website] or visit their website for more information bridgetriathlon.co.uk.

Sculpture Trail

Reflecting the ethos of The Bridge, local artist William Jordan has created a unique sculpture trail across the site. Made primarily from recycled and reclaimed materials, the sculpture trail offers a unique and fun new perspective on innovation and sustainability. Perhaps our most famous sculpture is 'Mermaid' erected in 2011. Standing at 30ft tall in the lake, the Mermaid is made out of metal which is 80% recycled and represents balance within the natural world.

Have you completed the sculpture trail? See our map below to see the sculpture locations.

History

Joyce Green

In Victorian times, The Bridge site was called the Joyce Green hospital, and was used as an isolation hospital that provided care for smallpox victims and for soldiers injured in WWI.

After 1930, control of the hospital moved to London County Council. And at the start of WWII it became a general hospital providing essential care to wounded soldiers.

In 1948, Joyce Green joined the newly inaugurated NHS and continued as a hospital until September 2000, when the buildings were demolished and plans started for an ambitious regeneration project.
