The first of these bridges was built from Victoria Embankment to County Hall, London and was constructed in 1942 [6] before being demolished in 1948.[7] The second such bridge was constructed at Millbank outside the Tate Britain in 1942 [8] before also being dismantled in 1948.[9] |   greenchief | Tuesday 5th of August 2014 11:05:09 AM |
