EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back in time to the 19th century, showcasing the Old Blackfriars Bridge in all its historic glory. Designed by the renowned Scottish architect and engineer, Robert Mylne, this bridge was a testament to the architectural prowess of the era. Mylne, who was known for his innovative designs, created this bridge in the 1760s, and it stood as a vital connection between the north and south banks of the River Thames in London for nearly a century. The Old Blackfriars Bridge, also known as the Blackfriars Old Bridge, was a five-arched stone bridge with elegant decorative features. The bridge's name is believed to have originated from the nearby Blackfriars Monastery, which was home to the Dominican friars. Unfortunately, the bridge's tenure was not eternal. In the 1860s, it was demolished to make way for a new bridge, leaving behind only memories and this photograph as reminders of its existence. Today, the Old Blackfriars Bridge stands as an essential piece of London's rich history, and a testament to the ingenuity and vision of Robert Mylne.
