Final sheet from a long view of the north bank of the Thames, showing London Bridge (with the driving piles for the new bridge of 1823-31 adjacent) and the Monument. Other sites listed in key below are Old Swan Stairs, Fishmongers Hall and Wren's church of St Magnus the Martyr. Colonel (later General Sir Frederick) Trench originated the idea of the Thames Embankment, for which a bill was (unsuccessfully) presented to Parliament in 1825. Revived, work on the Embankment started in 1864, although to a different design than is shown here. Drawn by Thomas Mann Baynes, the panorama shows the riverside as it appeared in 1825, from Westminster to London Bridge, with Trench's proposed embankment running from Whitehall to Blackfriars Bridge, with the skyline of London shown correctly above; this would have been one of nine lithographic sheets.

A fascinating view of London Bridge on the River Thames, partially demolished; barges, ferries and sailing bats on the river in foreground. Because of terrible congestion on the Bridge an Act of Parliament was passed in June 1756, giving permission to demolish the shops and houses for which the bridge was famous, with work carried out 1758-62. as part of the rebuilding the two centre arches were replaced with a single span to improve navigation up river. During the work a temporary wooden span structure caught fire, 11th April, blocking the bridge. Fortunately the wind blew the flames away from the remaining buildings (and the City), so the effects were not as devastating as they could have been. This plate was originally published by William Herbert, as a broadside with a letterpress history of London Bridge.

Dilapidation of the Long-Entry Arch, Old London Bridge. As it appeared March 20th 1832.
Drawn & Etched By Edwd. Willm. Cooke.
London Pubd April 1833 for the Proprietors by J. Brown Old Broad St. & J & A. Arch Cornhill.
Hand-coloured etching on india paper, sheet 310 x 390mm. 12¼ x 15¼". Margins a little trimmed.
Views on the Thames of the demolition of the old London Bridge, making way for John Rennie's new bridge. In 1800 it was decided to replace the old bridge, and a competition was held producing many varied designs. In 1824, Rennie's plans were accepted. The bridge was built 180 feet west of the old Bridge and for a time Londoners could see both the old bridge and the new side-by-side. On June 15, 1825, the Lord Mayor of London, John Garratt, laid the first stone, in the presence of the Duke of York. This London Bridge was built out of granite which was quarried on Dartmoor. It was a structure of 5 arches, overall dimensions were 928 feet long and 49 feet wide. When the new bridge was finished and opened by King William and Queen Adelaide in 1831, traffic switched to the huge new structure and the demolition commenced on the old bridge.

A fascinating view of London Bridge on the River Thames, partially demolished; barges, ferries and sailing bats on the river in foreground. Because of terrible congestion on the Bridge an Act of Parliament was passed in June 1756, giving permission to demolish the shops and houses for which the bridge was famous, with work carried out 1758–62. as part of the rebuilding the two centre arches were replaced with a single span to improve navigation up river. During the work a temporary wooden span structure caught fire, 11th April, blocking the bridge. Fortunately the wind blew the flames away from the remaining buildings (and the City), so the effects were not as devastating as they could have been.

An interior view of the Lower Chapel of St Thomas on the Bridge, a bridge chapel built near the centre of London Bridge, with windows looking out over the river. Founded c.1205, it was in use as a chapel until 1548, during the Reformation, when it converted to a residence and warehouse. The Upper Chapel was removed in 1747 (when this print was produced); the lower chapel survived until the whole bridge was demolished in 1832. This print originally had a view of the Upper Chapel above. Both views were drawn by Vertue, based on a survey by the architect Nicholas Hawksmoor (1661-1736), published in a pamphlet called A Short Historical Account of London Bridge in 1736.

William Daniell's visualisation of George Dance jnr's grandiose scheme to redevelop the Port of London in the early 19th century.

The estimated cost of £1,250,000 proved to be too much for the House of Commons committee and, despite promotional material such as this print, the scheme never got off the drawing board.

Views on the Thames of stages in the demolition of the old London Bridge, and the construction of John Rennie's new bridge. In 1800 it was decided to replace the old bridge, and a competition was held producing many varied designs. In 1824, Rennie's plans were accepted. The bridge was built 180 feet west of the old Bridge and for a time Londoners could see both the old bridge and the new side-by-side. On June 15, 1825, the Lord Mayor of London, John Garratt, laid the first stone, in the presence of the Duke of York. This London Bridge was built out of granite which was quarried on Dartmoor. It was a structure of 5 arches, overall dimensions were 928 feet long and 49 feet wide. When the new bridge was finished and opened by King William and Queen Adelaide in 1831, traffic switched to the huge new structure and the demolition commenced on the old bridge. Edward William Cooke (1811 - 1880) draughtsman, illustrator, wood engraver, etcher and painter of rural and coastal scenes in oil and watercolour; son of engraver George Cooke. He was elected RA in 1864 and produced a number of drawings at Redleaf, the home of William Wells. Dedicated by the artist in ink on the titlepage: 'From E.W.
