This authentic 1960s colour photograph provides a detailed close-up of the impressive Victorian engineering of the Blackfriars Railway Bridge in 1969. The image highlights the original ornate red-painted cast-iron columns and decorative capitals that support the heavy lattice girder structure above. Set against the murky waters of the River Thames, the weathered stone piers show the tidemark of the river, while the background reveals glimpses of the City’s post-war industrial skyline. These pillars are the remnants of the first railway bridge at this site, designed by Joseph Cubitt and opened in 1864, which was later dismantled leaving only these sculptural supports. This digital download is a striking choice for those interested in civil engineering and London’s industrial heritage, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of architectural wall art.
