A view of Albert Bridge looking across the River Thames to the North Bank under a stormy sky. Arguably the most elegant bridge across the river in London, it connects Chelsea on the north bank to Battersea on the south. It was designed and built by Rowland Mason Ordish in 1873 as an Ordish–Lefeuvre system cable-stayed bridge, one of only two major bridges built with that system. Structural problems meant it was modified in the 1880s with some suspension bridge elements being added, the problems still continued when motor cars started to appear, meaning that traffic restrictions have been in place for most of its lifetime. The two concrete piers were added in 1973.
