The Chamberlain Bridge is the western footbridge across the Careenage, connecting the Wharf area to the main body of the historic centre. It is a modest structure — a swing bridge, originally, though now fixed — but its ornamental lampposts and balustraded ironwork make it the most photogenic crossing in Bridgetown. Most photographs of the Careenage are taken from or near here.
The bridge dates from 1874 and was restored in the early 2000s as part of the UNESCO heritage conservation works. Standing at its midpoint at sunset, with the Parliament Buildings behind you and the boats of the Careenage below, gives you as good a view of Bridgetown as there is. The fish market used to operate just west of the bridge; the area has since been redeveloped as a visitor facility, but you can still sometimes buy fish directly from boats.
