London bridges across the river Thames: 17 Battersea railway bridge

 



the Battersea railway bridge - properly called the Cremorne Bridge, after the pleasure grounds in Chelsea and originally commonly referred to as the Battersea new bridge - is a bridge across the river Thames between Battersea and Chelsea and forming part of the west London line of the London Overground from Clapham junction to Willesden junction
the bridge was designed by William Baker, chief engineer of the London and North Western Railway, and was opened in March 1863, it carries two sets of railway lines and consists of five 37 m lattice girder arches set on stone piers
 
quite ordinary and uninteresting
