Hammersmith, The Bridge c.1960

More about this scene
The Thames is now flowing into London proper, and we reach Hammersmith, with its monumentally-scaled iron bridge. This replaced William Tierney Clark's suspension bridge of 1827, a smaller version of which survives across the Thames at Marlow. The current one, now painted a tasteful green with architectural ornament picked out in gold, is by Sir Joseph Bazalgette and is dated 1887.
