Description: | The first bridge on this site was opened 18 June 1817, the 2nd anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. This was replaced with the present one 1937-42. The original Somerset House was built 1547-50. It was rebuilt from 1776 as purpose-built government offices. At that date the River Thames lapped against the south terrace. | Subjects: | Government Office Road Bridge Transport (Water) Aerial View Blind Arcade Dome Portico Engineering And Technology Civic | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | staff | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
