Grosvenor Bridge

Grosvenor Bridge is the second of the railroad bridges across the Thames that I encountered. Four bridges downriver from the Battersea Railroad Bridge, it is substantially wider to accommodate a higher volume of train traffic. As with most of the Thames River bridges I encountered in 2012, Grosvenor Bridge is a deck arch bridge. However, unlike the others that feature ornate coloring and ornamentation, here the arches and spandrels are left to speak, simply, for themselves.
