Talbot captured this image of the suspension bridge, designed by renowned engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel and erected between 1841 and 1845, from the North Bank looking southward. In 1860, 15 years after Talbot documented the opening of this toll bridge, it was taken down and replaced by the Charing Cross Railway Bridge.
