Talk:Southwark Bridge

The Iron Bridge?
From Southwark Bridge article: ''It was known as the "Iron Bridge" in comparison to London Bridge the "Stone Bridge". The bridge was notable for having the longest cast iron span, 240 feet (73 m), ever made. It is frequently referenced by Charles Dickens, for example in Little Dorrit and Our Mutual Friend, and there was a recreation of the old bridge made for the 2008 Little Dorrit (TV serial).''

From Hungerford Bridge article: This bridge is probably the 'Iron Bridge' of Dickens's Little Dorrit (1855-7).

Presumably one is wrong, and I'm guessing from the text Southwark is likely to be the right one, but the sources on the pages don't clarify either way.

I've posted this to the talk pages of both bridges, so if you clarify on one please close the issue on the other. Lessthanideal (talk) 23:26, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * In Chapter 9, the iron bridge is described as having a pavement and road, so it can't be Hungerford. --DavidCane (talk) 23:06, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I have deleted the comment given the uncertainty. Dormskirk (talk) 14:15, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello - I was at Southwark bridge on 6th June, and in the underpass (Fruiterers Passage) below the northern end there is a selection of historic drawings/blueprints decorating the tilework. One is entitled "SOUTHWARK IRON BRIDGE by Edward William Cooke. Pencil drawing August 1827" (I have a photograph if further evidence is required. -N.M. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.5.63.62 (talk) 06:11, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Mary Poppins
'In the 1964 Disney film Mary Poppins, the Banks family mistakenly think that George W. Banks has committed suicide by jumping off the bridge after he is fired from his job at the bank.'

Is this true? I certainly don't recall it. Maragil (talk) 17:48, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
