TQ3280 SOUTHWARK BRIDGE
636-1/2/873 Southwark Bridge (that part in
24/08/95 London Borough of Southwark)
GV II
Road and footbridge over River Thames. 1913-21. By Basil Mott
of Mott, Hay and Anderson; piers and turrets to the designs of
Sir Ernest George RA. 5 steel arches supported by granite
piers which are rusticated. 2 spans of approx 45m and 48m on
each side, central span of approx 51m. The spacing was
determined so that the piers would align with those of
Blackfriars Road Bridge (City of London) and Rennie's London
Bridge. The piers, whose classical design shows a typical
Edwardian exuberance, were completed by the outbreak of war;
work continued, with increasing delays due to material
shortages, until 1917. After the war mounting traffic
congestion in the City made its completion a high priority,
and Southwark Bridge was one of the first major public works
projects to be resumed after the Armistice. It was opened by
King George V in 1921. The total cost was borne by the Bridge
House Estates Committee.
The northern part of this item is in the City of London.
