Description: | The title of this small map of Regency London appears at top right, facing a scale bar at top left. The map is divided into squares for reference. It indicates with a dotted line the proposed new bridge at Waterloo. Designed by John Rennie, Waterloo Bridge was constructed by a commercial company hoping to profit from toll-paying traffic. The bridge cost £1m and was never profitable. In 1936, amid controversy, the bridge was demolished and replaced. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Road Transport Bridges Roads Cartography And Topography Transport Infrastructure Science And Technology London maps Maps | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | [anonymous] | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
