Designed And Built By Rowland Mason Ordish In 1873 As An Ordishã¢Â‚¬Â€Œlefeuvre System Modified Cable-Stayed Bridge, It Proved To Be Structurally Unsound, So Between 1884 And 1887 Sir Joseph Bazalgette Incorporated Some Of The Design Elements Of A Suspension Bridge. In 1973 The Greater London Council Added Two Concrete Piers, Which Transformed The Central Span Into A Simple Beam Bridge. As A Result, Today The Bridge Is An Unusual Hybrid Of Three Different Design Styles. It Is An English Heritage Grade Ii* Listed Building.
