Design by Frederic Barnett for a 'duplex' low-level bridge, London Size:S: 40 x 30cm View of Sussex PlaceDesign by Frederic Barnett for a 'duplex' low level bridge, London, 1876. The bridge was intended to allow uninterrupted continuity of vehicular and general traffic. In 1876 a competition was held to design a new crossing over the Thames below London Bridge. This was one of the more than 50 designs submitted. In the event, Sir Horace Jones's Tower Bridge was the design chosen.
