Description

Watercolour heightened with touches of bodycolour. This shows the newly built London Bridge which was opened on 1st August 1831 by William IV and Queen Adelaide. It was built by Sir John Rennie to the design of his father and was positioned upstream from the old bridge which is visible in the present watercolour but was soon taken down. Rennie's bridge was sold and replaced in the 1970s and re-erected in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
On the south bank stands Southwark Cathedral with, on the north bank, the Monument to the Great Fire of 1666 built in 1671-77 and the spire of the Church of St. Magnus Martyr behind the Fishermongers' Hall. Beyond is the distinctive spire of the Church of St. Dunstan in the East with the Tower of London in the distance.
