ST PAUL'S BRIDGE & TOWER BRIDGE road/rail proposals. London. TAYLOR 1855 map
SKU
'Proposed St. Paul's and Tower Bridges referred to by George Ledwell Taylor Esq in his evidence of 17th May 1855'
At the time of the publication of the map, a number of improvements to London's transport infrastructure were under consideration by the Parliamentary Select Committee. This plan shows two proposed bridges, 1) Tower Bridge, a road bridge east of the Tower of London, eventually constructed under a different design between 1886–1894 and 2) "St Paul's Bridge" road and rail bridge, spanning the river between Blackfriars and Southwark Bridges. This bridge was of course never built, although the Millenium foot bridge, opened in 2000, runs close to the route proposed for "St Paul's Bridge"
