Note 775 — XCIV.—NORTH and SOUTH CRESCENTS and ALFRED PLACE (Demolished).

It was the last of several designs prepared for a Select Committee of the House of Commons who engaged in deliberating on the improvements to the Port, including a new London Bridge. The view shows two bridges of six arches each, with a drawbridge in the centre intended for the passage of ships. Between the bridges flights of steps lead down to the river. The two large areas beyond the bridges are terminated by crescents. The Monument stands in the chord of the northern crescent, and a large obelisk in that of the southern.
