Opening of Southwark Bridge toll free, 1864. Southwark Bridge over the River Thames in London links Southwark and the City. It was a commercial tolled operation which was trying to compete with the toll-free Blackfriars and London bridges nearby, but the company became bankrupt and its interests were acquired by the Bridge House Estates which made it toll free in 1864. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
