Framed Print of The Royal Albert Bridge, Chelsea, 1873. Creator: Unknown
The Royal Albert Bridge, Chelsea, [London], 1873. The new suspension-bridge...crosses the river from the end of Oakley-street to the west side of Battersea Park, and will be a most convenient thoroughfare from Kensington and Brompton to Battersea and Clapham...strong chains...are stretched over two high towers...The roadway is suspended from these chains, and thus...the weight is distributed between the towers, while the whole structure is much more rigid than an ordinary suspension-bridge...the chains consist of something like 1000 steel wires, not twisted, but bound together, and from this cable are suspended vertical rods, which assist in bearing the girders of the roadway. This principle is the invention of Mr. Rowland M. Ordish...Each of the towers rests on a pier composed of cast-iron cylinders, sunk into the London clay and filled with concrete...The roadway is paved with wood and the footways with Ransome's patent stone. The contractors were Messrs. Williamson and Co.; the cylinders for the piers were manufactured by Messrs. Robinson and Cottam; the cast and wrought ironwork for the superstructure by Messrs. A. Handyside and Co; while the steel wire for the cables was supplied by the Cardigan Iron and Steel Works, Sheffield'. From Illustrated London News, 1873.
