The original Waverley Bridge, a stone arch structure, was replaced during the extensive remodelling of the station in the late 1860s and early 1870s. This second bridge was in turn replaced by the current bridge which was completed in 1896. The vegetable market displaced by the construction of the second bridge was replaced by an indoor site designed by Robert Morham. This was demolished in 1974 and replaced by Waverley shopping centre, later called Waverley Mall.
