Description: | Ludgate Circus is a busy junction in sight of St Paul's cathedral, whose dome can be seen in the background of this shot.
The railway bridge, painted blue in this picture, was built in the 1860s. It originally carried trains run by the London, Chatham & Dover Railway, and its opening was accompanied by public protest. The bridge completely obstructed the view along Ludgate Hill to St Paul's.
It was used throughout the 20th century until it was demolished in 1990. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Cityscape | Temporal: | Mar 1990 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
