Description
First opened in 1750 over the River Thames, and showing serious signs of decay in the early 1800's, Thomas Page designed a new bridge of Gothic design which was opened in 1862. The bridge connects the Parliament Buildings on one side to the South Bank on the other.
Earth has not anything to show more fair:
Dull world he be of soul who would pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty.
~ William Wordsworth, 1802 (written in honour of the bridge)
