	Hungerford Bridge
		Hungerford Bridge is a bridge, or triplet of bridges, over the River Thames in London, between Waterloo Bridge and Westminster Bridge.
		Hungerford Bridge was originally designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and opened in 1845 as a suspension footbridge.
		In the mid-1990s a decision was made to replace the footbridge with new structures on either side of the existing railway bridge, and a competition was held in 1996 for a new design.

		Hungerford Bridge seen from the London Eye observation wheel, to the south
		It was won by architects Lifschutz Davidson and engineers WSP Group, and the two new 4-metre wide footbridges were completed in 2002.
		Further justification for new footbridge structures both upstream and downstream of the railway bridge was that the railway bridge's brittle wrought iron support pillars were vulnerable to impact from riverboats.

	Hungerford Railway & Pedestrian Bridge, London : tourist information from TourUK
		Named after Hungerford Market on the north bank, Brunel's suspension bridge was built to provide a pedestrian crossing between the market and the south bank.
		The engineer devised a ingenious plan whereby the chains and other suspension elements of the Hungerford footbridge were used to complete Brunel's more famous bridge, which finally opened in 1864.
		The two multispan footbridges are 320m long and 4.7m wide, and the decks are suspended from sets of cable stay rods from inclined steel pylons.

		The project suffered from delays due to funding and as a result the bridge was not constructed, opened and the lighting turned on until 2002.
		The scheme which consists of two new suspension footbridges hung off either side of an existing rail bridge uses a daring structure that echoes Brunel's original suspension bridge on the site.
		Other elements include the lighting of the lift cars, the staircases (supplemented by local street lighting) and Brunel's original brick piers which are illuminated with asymmetric floodlights fixed to the deck.
