'''Cannon Street Railway Bridge'''
'''Cannon Street Railway Bridge''' is a bridge in central [[London]], crossing the [[River Thames]]. Downstream, the next bridge is [[London Bridge]], and upstream [[Southwark Bridge]]. It carries trains over the river to [[Cannon Street station]] on the north bank. It was originally named ''Alexandra Bridge'' after [[Alexandra of Denmark]] who was the wife of the future King [[Edward VII of the United Kingdom|Edward VII]].
The bridge was designed by [[John Hankshaw]] and [[John Wolfe-Barry]] for the [[South Eastern Railway]]. It was opened in [[1866]] after three years of construction. In its original form, it carried the railway over the Thames on five spans standing on cast-iron [[Doric order|Doric]] pillars. It was subsequently widened between [[1886]]–[[1893|93]] by [[Francis Brady]] and extensively renovated between [[1979]]–[[1982|82]], which resulted in many of its ornamental features being removed and the structure taking on an even more utilitarian appearance than before.
It was the scene of the [[Marchioness disaster]] in 1989.
