EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Lambeth Bridge, a historical landmark in the heart of Westminster, City of Westminster, Greater London. The image captures a mesmerizing view of the old Lambeth Bridge from the east, highlighting its grandeur and architectural beauty. Originally built as a suspension bridge in 1862, this engineering marvel faced numerous safety and structural issues over time. As a result, it was closed to vehicular traffic in 1910 and eventually demolished in the late 1920s. However, thanks to Charles William Prickett's vision and expertise, this magnificent structure was resurrected and replaced with a new bridge in 1932. The Victorian charm exuded by this road bridge is truly enchanting. Its elegant design stands tall against the backdrop of serene waterscape and riverscape scenery. This print not only serves as a visual reminder of London's rich history but also pays homage to Prickett's remarkable contribution towards preserving its heritage. As you gaze upon this stunning piece of artistry captured by Historic England, let your imagination transport you back to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed these very streets. Allow yourself to be captivated by the timeless allure that Lambeth Bridge continues to exude even today - an enduring symbol connecting past and present generations alike.
