"All Troops Must Break Step When Marching Over this Bridge"
Crossing the River Thames between Chelsea and Battersea, Albert Bridge is a beautiful example of Victorian bridge architecture. Named in memory of Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Prince Consort to
Queen Victoria, the attractive Albert Bridge was built between 1870 and
1872. Designed by Rowland Mason Ordish, it was an excellent example of a
rigid suspension bridge. It measures 216 meters long, 12.5 meters wide
(700 ft by 41 ft) and has a center span of 122 meters (400 feet).
