Geschiedenis
Battersea Bridge was built in 1771-72. It was constructed from wood to the designs of Henry Holland to replace the ferry between Chelsea and Battersea. The bridge was demolished in 1881 as boats often collided with the piers, but had already contributed to the growth of Chelsea from a village to a small town. The present bridge with cast iron girders and designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette was erected 1886-90.
