Description:Lantern slide view of the remains of Fleetstones Bridge, which was closed in 1880. The date of '1890' written onto the lantern slide image appears to be a mistake. After Fleetstones Bridge closed it seems that the old stepping stones were back in use for a while, before being replaced in 1890 with a viaduct which linked up Fleet Street with the new Ferry Bridge.
