EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the progress of the construction of New Lambeth Bridge in the early 1930s. Designed by the renowned engineer George Humphreys, this five-span bridge was a significant addition to the London landscape. The construction work began in 1929, and the bridge was officially opened by King George V on the 20th of May, 1932. The bridge, which replaced the old Lambeth Bridge, was built to alleviate the traffic congestion in the area and improve the transportation infrastructure of London. The design of the bridge was a departure from the traditional suspension bridge design, with its unique concrete arches and Art Deco-inspired pylons. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, with the Parliament buildings in the background standing tall and proud, while cranes and construction equipment dominate the foreground. The workers in their overalls and hard hats can be seen diligently working on the bridge, adding to the sense of industry and progress. The New Lambeth Bridge was a testament to the engineering prowess of the time and remains an essential part of London's transportation network to this day. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and the transformative power of engineering and construction projects, shaping the cities we live in.
