Plan of the Thames Embankment, 1862. 'The commissioners...recommend that an embanked roadway of about two miles should be formed between Westminster-bridge and Battersea Park, commencing at the east abutment of Westminster-bridge, on a viaduct...opposite the Houses of Parliament, as far as Bishop's-walk; thence on a solid embankment to the north side of the London Gasworks; continued under Vauxhall-bridge as far as Nine Elms...and thence, on a solid embankment, passing under the land arch of the railway bridge and terminating at the approach road of the new suspension-bridge at Battersea. The cost of this work, including land and compensation, is estimated at £1, 100, 000...the said plans of embankment will...conduce with the greatest efficiency and economy to the improvement, embellishment, and convenience of that part of the metropolis, improve the navigation of the river, and provide a public thoroughfare without stopping such trade as must be carried on upon the bank of the river...The plan and section...show the direction and levels of the intended road, and the arrangements proposed for accommodating some of the occupiers of the most important of the waterside premises'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
