Here is a slightly unusual view of Jubilee
Bridge,[1] as
it was mostly photographed as part of the river scene.
During the tourist season there used to be a charge to cross
the bridge and the Edwardian turnstile and kiosk, at
the promenade end of the bridge for over half a century,
were to control the crowds and take their money.
The signboard advertises the entrance to the Lovers' Walks -
access had been by ferry before the bridge was built - and
the performances of the local band. The band played in the
bandstand, or band kiosk, on the Lovers' Walk side; the sign
shows they played for two hours at a time, with a two hour
break between performances. |
