Another view from the same spot as [[1706419]], looking downstream. The lattice girder bridge's designer was William Jacomb.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Fulham Railway Bridge was constructed across the River Thames between 1887 and 1889 by the London & South Western Railway. It was designed by William Jacomb, at one time an assistant to Brunel. It now carries London Underground District Line trains to and from the terminus at Wimbledon. The red patch behind the latticework is the side of a train passing by. Of the footbridge I can find no information at all although it appears to be of a more modern construction. The footbridge goes between Deodar Road in Putney and Ranelagh Gardens by Putney Bridge Underground station in Fulham.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Fulham Railway Bridge crosses the River Thames just downstream from Putney Bridge. The bridge was opened in 1889 and carries the London Underground District Line.

Dist:0.1km<br/>A Greek sphinx, unperturbed by a vandal's decoration of her breasts, stands on a gatepost. Others adorn nearby roofs; I imagine there were once many more along these roads than now remain.

Dist:0.1km<br/>The blue bus is crossing Putney Bridge, the train is crossing Fulham Railway Bridge and the coxless four are being shouted at by their coach. You cannot hear or see the stream of planes overhead heading west to Heathrow Airport!
