| Description |
Details of the sculptures of the Vauxhall Bridge. The Vauxhall Bridge is a Grade II* listed steel and granite deck arch bridge in Central London. It crosses the Thames between Vauxhall on the south bank of the Thames and Westminster on the north side of the Thames. It was opened in 1906, replacing an earlier bridge. The bridge was declared Grade II* listed status in 2008 to provide protection to preserve its character from further alteration. The bridge was designed by Sir Alexander Binnie, although not many people liked his original design, so he submitted another one. His design had 5 spans with concrete and granite. When they placed the granite piers, the builders discovered that a concrete bridge would be too heavy (there was clay under the Thames) so they changed it to a steel superstructure. It was opened in 1906 by the Prince of Wales (the future George V). This statue on the Vauxhall Bridge is Alfred Drury's Science. |
