London, Albert Bridge c1915

This postcard by Card House shows Albert Bridge from the south side of the river. The small structures on either side are the old tollbooths, which were only in use for six years after the bridge opened in 1873.

Here are a couple of postcards by R. J. Johns that show the bridge and embankment from around the same date as the Card House postcard:

In this magnificent view of the same area by Card House (probably taken from the roof of the Alexandra Hotel) you can see the Plough Inn (now part of the O'Briens chain) and an early cinema. It is interesting to see from the Google Streetview that the pub now has a mock-tudor exterior.
