Many thanks for your comments! I'm glad the composition appealed to you, Alan - it sounds even better from your description!

And Vicki, glad to have stirred some more memories for you!

Chelsea Bridge is a self-anchored suspension bridge for road and foot traffic running north-south over the River Thames in London, between Grosvenor Bridge and the Albert Bridge. The current bridge was designed by G. Topham Forest and opened on 6 May 1937, replacing an earlier suspension bridge on the same site.

The original bridge was a suspension bridge of some 700ft with a main span of 350ft, designed by Thomas Page, constructed from 1851 and opened on 28 March 1858. The bridge was conceived of at the same time as and as a compliment to Battersea Park, and authorised by an 1846 Act of Parliament. It was a toll bridge until 1879.
