Southwark Bridge, London

Sir John Rennie (1794-1874) built a three-arch cast-iron toll bridge between Blackfriars and London Bridges. With a central span of 72 m it was largest bridge ever made of cast-iron. The bridge was replaced in 1921 and is seen here in the late 19th century, heavy with traffic.
