Maps of Westminster
Description: The title of this small map of Regency London appears at top right, facing a scale bar at top left. The map is divided into squares for reference. It indicates with a dotted line the proposed new bridge at Waterloo. Designed by John Rennie, Waterloo Bridge was constructed by a commercial company hoping to profit from toll-paying traffic. The bridge cost 1m and was never profitable. In 1936, amid controversy, the bridge was demolished and replaced.
