Marlow Bridge's bigger brother in the capital of Hungary, known as the Budapest Chain Bridge, bears a striking resemblance to the River Thames crossing.
This is because both bridges were designed by William Tierney Clark with Marlow Bridge a much smaller design at 72 metres compared while the Hungarian bridge 375 metres long.
However, both bridges are currently undergoing maintenance work and are shut to pedestrians.

Marlow Bridge's footway was closed in October last year and will run until late this year whilst Budapest's Chain Bridge is scheduled to be finished in 2023.
Clark’s Budapest Bridge that crosses the Danube took nearly ten years to complete; the work was supervised by Scotland’s Adam Clark and opened in 1849.
Marlow Bridge was completed in 1832, replacing a derelict wooden bridge that crossed the river from the bottom of St. Peter Street.
The large-scale version of the Marlow bridge links Buda and Pest and officially bears the name of István Szėchenyi who provided much of the funding, but is usually known just as 'The Chain Bridge'.
It was rebuilt after almost total destruction by the Germans during the Second World War.
It lasted only to the 1880s when a completely different structure designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette was built, although using Clark’s original pier foundations.
A plaque on the Széchenyi Chain Bridge commemorates the link with the Marlow Bridge, while there’s also a plaque at the Marlow Bridge commemorating the unique connection between the two bridges.
These plaques were unveiled by the Hungarian Ambassador, Tádé Alföldy, in Marlow, at a special ceremony in 1996.
Tour guides in the city will ask you if you have been to Marlow as you pass by the giant bridge with both being Clark's two surviving suspension bridges.
Two other similar bridges built by Clark are no longer standing with the first being also crossing the Thames at Hammersmith and opened in 1827.
It lasted only to the 1880s when a completely different structure designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette was built, although using Clark’s original pier foundations.
There was also the Norfolk Suspension Bridge crossing the tidal River Adur at Shoreham-By-Sea in Sussex which was opened in 1834 and financed by the Duke of Norfolk from nearby Arundel Castle.
It was replaced in 1923 by a far too narrow iron construction that caused major problems as motor traffic increased as a new by-pass and modern bridge was built in 1970.
