Framed Print of Battersea Bridge during the high tide of Friday last, 1874. Creator: Unknown
Battersea Bridge [in London] during the high tide of Friday last, 1874. The extraordinary rising of the tide, predicted to occur on the Friday night and on the Saturday afternoon of last week, did not amount to a great local disaster. It was checked by a wind from the south-west blowing down the river, and only a little exceeded the height which an ordinary spring tide has reached upon some former occasions. Many of the owners and occupiers of riverside premises, however, in the districts of Bankside, Lambeth, Vauxhall, Nine Elms, and Battersea, had made great preparations to keep out the expected flood, by fixing planks, fronted with layers of clay, and other supposed effectual barriers, across doorways, at the ends of lanes and alleys, and over the cellar gratings. The north-easterly wind, continuing till the Friday afternoon, had really justified the apprehensions so far entertained; but, in the evening of that day, the wind fortunately changed. Still, many families had removed their furniture for safety, and many did not care to go to bed that night. The scene next day on the South Embankment and at the bridges up the river was somewhat unusual, but scarcely alarming'. From Illustrated London News, 1874.
