	River Thames and boaty things
		Wandsworth Bridge, with its central span of 200 feet comprising seven high-tensile steel girders, was built between 1937-40 by Sir T Peirson Frank and replaced an earlier iron lattice bridge built by J H Tolme and opened in 1873 by Colonel Hogg MP.
		This railway bridge needed five spans and as the Thames Conservators insisted upon the piers of the two new bridges being in line, it was decided that the new road bridge would also have five spans.
		For the railway bridge, which was to carry four lines of track, Joseph Cubitt designed and built a wrought iron lattice girder bridge on masonary and cast iron cylindrical piers which was opened in 1864.
