view from WATERLOO BRIDGE - 1964....how it used to look....
HQS Wellington, HMS Chrysanthemum, and HMS President, in order left to right, lie permanently moored at Victoria Embankment, on the North bank of River Thames, whilst barges are moored on this then working river.
14 small dinghys sail in and out of the barges, making their way upstream, destination unknown. The tide is just below low tide, and appears to be coming in.
This picture was taken from WATERLOO BRIDGE - 1964, with the view towards St. Pauls' Cathedral, as it used to look. Blackfriars Bridge is also partially in the view.
Note the absence of high rise buildings, with no sign of The National Westminster Bank Tower [Tower 42], or the ubiquitous Gherkin.
They, and a myriad of other monstrous carbunkles, had yet to be built.
