More about this scene
This view shows the Hammersmith bank's suspension tower and the 'chains' in close detail. Two groups of four eyebar links are duplicated immediately below to sustain the vertical deck stays - some pretty massive spanners are needed here. There are architectural contrasts here as well: the ornate late Victorian Digby Mansions with a domed corner tower (left), with Thames Tower beyond, built in 1962 for United Distilleries, extended in the 1970s and re-clad in the 1990s.
