Albert Bridge

Give cheer Give a Cheer
Favorite

There are about 12 bridges over the Thames in central London. The Albert Bridge is London's prettiest bridge and is the only central London bridge that has not been rebuilt.. It spans the River Thames from Chelsea to Battersea in London and was named in memory of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband. A 1864 Act of Parliament authorised the construction of a bridge but there were long delays before it was opened to traffic in 1873. At each end of the bridge is a notice instructing the soldiers of nearby Chelsea Barracks to break step when marching over the bridge. It is thought that the vibrations caused by marching in step would damage the delicate structure. I am on the Battersea bridge taking this photo.
