'Plan of the River Thames from Westminster Bridge to Blackfriars Bridge, shewing the line of the New Quay, as proposed by Colonel Trench M.P. &c &c &c'
A detailed plan of the River Thames between Westminster Bridge and Blackfriars Bridge, depicting Waterloo, the Temple, and the Strand, together with parts of Whitehall and Pall Mall. The map illustrates the proposal of Colonel Frederick Trench (1775–1859), a British military officer and Tory MP, who in 1824 promoted the creation of a New Quay along the north side of the Thames between Charing Cross and Blackfriars Bridge. Trench’s scheme envisioned merchant warehouses constructed beneath riverside terraces, linked by tunnels to main roads and markets such as Covent Garden. A key identifies the proposed commercial facilities and new access routes including a new Fruut & Flower Market. Though rejected by Parliament as impractical for river trade, Trench’s concept anticipated the later construction of Sir Joseph Bazalgette’s Victoria Embankment in the 1860s.
