					<description><![CDATA[Really enjoyed looking at these - very interesting.
One observation, the &#039;Old Putney Bridge&#039; pictured is actually Fulham Bridge. This was replaced by the present Putney bridge in 1886. Fulham Bridge stood roughly where the District Line railway bridge stands today. Follow Fulham High Street past the Eight Bells pub and the line of this road shows where Fulham Bridge used to be.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The photograph of  Westminster Bridge c. 1910 (B39) Shows a different aspect of the building on the left from a photograph I have of No 1 surrey foot of Westminster Bridge (c.1860). St Thomas&#039; (old) hospital on the opposite side of the bridge  on the Embankment - all pre County Hall and re-development along the Embankment. Pads out family history nicely. Thank you.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mmmmmm.  Nice photos.  The gentle author has mentioned some are reversed and some specific ones have been mentioned in comments.  For those still wondering which they are or trying to match up images with today&#039;s views these are the &quot;mirrored&quot; ones I have found so far:

B3, Tower Bridge with barges - The building on the other side of the bridge with a tower and cupola on the roof and a chimney to the right of it is the Anchor Brewery which is downstream of the bridge and on the south side.

B8, St Paul&#039;s Cathedral from Southwark Bridge - one would need to look towards the City and left, not right, to see the cathedral.

B18, On Tower Bridge - most vehicles are on the wrong side of the road and I am reasonably convinced the roofs in the background are on the wrong side of the bridge.

B19, Tower Bridge - the Tower of London is behind the bridge and Warehouses around St Katherine Dock, now replaced by a hotel, are to the left. This is the wrong way round.  Also the traffic is queuing at the open bridge on the wrong side of the road.

B7, The former Bridgekeeper&#039;s house - the chimney from the bridge engine room (which is still there) is on the wrong side of the road (and some wrong-side driving again).

B33, Waterloo Bridge - Somerset House is on the wrong side.

B34, Under an arch of Waterloo Bridge - looking in that direction should show Somerset House through the arch. 

B35 View under Waterloo Bridge towards Hungerford Bridge - when looking towards to Palace of Westminster the river curves left, not right.

B41, Westminster Bridge - St Thomas&#039;s Hospital is on the wrong side of the bridge. 

And yes indeed, as pointed out elsewhere, B32, Waterloo Bridge C.1910 must be 1924 or after as the temporary girder bridge is in place.


B39, Westminster Bridge highlights the remarkable way trams ran here - closest to the north kerb of the bridge trams ran east, next to them trams ran west, next to them was the eastbound traffic following a &quot;keep right&quot; rule with regard to the oncoming trams and on the south side was the westbound traffic.  A similar situation with both tram tracks on one side of the road also applied in the Victoria Embankment and Blackfriars Bridge.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What a beautiful collection of London bridge images...really lovely!  And I learned a few things as well.  Next time I visit London I will pay even closer attention to all of it&#039;s wonderful bridges!
