Battersea Bridge
The first Battersea Bridge was a wooden structure opened in 1771 (1772 to vehicles). This bridge was the last remaining wooden bridge on the Thames when it was demolished in 1885.
The present bridge is a 5 span cast iron and granite cantilever bridge, built by Sir Joseph Bazelgette in 1890. It has a span of 221 metres. It is one of the narrowest and least busy of the London bridges. A Grade II listed structure. Link
