Putney Bridge is a Grade II listed historic structure built in 1886 to span the River Thames. The bridge was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette and to this day is an important portal to South West London.
Light Bureau, an award-winning lighting firm, developed a new lighting scheme to highlight the stonework details of the bridge and to emphasize its monumental beauty.
GVA Lighting supplied a series of monochromatic linear LED luminaires to illuminate the bridge in a warm 2700K white light. The warm light compliments the history of the architecture and merges with the color of the stonework to create a golden tone.

Après avoir montrée des vues de Putney Bridge vers l'est et vers l'ouest, il est temps de montrer Putney Bridge lui-même! ce pont relie les quartiers londoniens de Fulham et de Putney. Et une jolie marée basse de la Tamise :)

The building you see closer to the riverside path is Pryors Bank Pavilion. It is an attractive mock Tudor pavilion, formerly a refreshments house, located by Putney Bridge and sitting just inside the gates of Bishop’s Park. It is leased from the council by All Saints Church, which is adjacent, and the Church offices are on the first floor of the building. The ground floor of this pavilion is available for hire from 9am – 4pm Monday – Friday. All Saints Church are able to offer to charities and voluntary sector groups at little or no cost and offers the following amenities which can be hired/borrowed as a whole or separately. It has disabled access. All users have access to two loos (one disabled) and a front lobby for storage of coats ( not valuables).
The church:
The building and its churchyard are situated next to Bishop's Park, overlooking the River Thames. The church has a long association with the bishops of London as lords of the manor of Fulham, and is the burial place for many of them. The nearby Fulham Palace is the former manor of Fulham and the former residence of the bishops of London.
Putney Bridge, like its predecessor Fulham Bridge, is unique in that it is the only bridge in Britain to have a church at both ends: the ancient St Mary's Church is located in Putney on the south bank, and All Saints' Church, Fulham on the North bank
After doubling up with 69004 yesterday, Gbrf’s 69003 was out all on it’s “lonesome” today working the 12:30 4Y19 empty Gypsum from Mountfield Sidings to Southampton West Docks.
Seen in SW London on the Waterloo to Reading line passing the single track line that leads up to East Putney Station. The line which is mainly used for empty stock movements to and from Wimbledon EMU depot, but is occasionally used for the odd early morning passenger working for repositioning purposes.

Up to London with ianbartlett, firstly to The Societies Show in Hammersmith and then a wander along the Thames.
It was a very grey and chilly day.
