'Buckingham Street, Strand', 1854. Busy London street scene with shops; a woman pulls along a child on the left, with a carthorse standing in the cobbled street. The view is looking towards Hungerford Suspension Bridge, finished in 1845, but demolished in 1859-1860 to make way for Charing Cross Railway Bridge. The chains from the old bridge were later used for the Clifton Suspension Bridge at Bristol.
