This is a Leon & Levy postcard dating from 1905, it shows the view from Hungerford Bridge looking downstream towards the old Waterloo Bridge. The London County Council paddle steamer is "Turner", one of the thirty boats built for the LCC riverboat service. The "Turner" was built by the Napier Miller Company of Glasgow and after the failure of the service in 1907, the boats were laid up until sold by auction in 1909. The "Turner" was sold to a German company for service on the River Rhine.
