Albert Bridge opened in 1873 and was immediately designated as a dangerous structure. It was noticed early on that vibrations could threaten the structural integrity of the bridge.

Battersea Bridge (1860s) James Hedderly was a photographer active in Chelsea before the building of the Embankment and afterwards. This is a view taken from the tower of Chelsea Old Church. It shows the tangle of closely-packed houses and wharves between Cheyne Walk and Beaufort Street before the embankment. Beyond are the larger houses of Lindsey Row and the trees of Cremorne Gardens.

Cheyne Walk in Chelsea (1950) The house depicted in the middle distance of with large gate piers was the former home of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Cheyne Walk was a popular area for artists from the mid 19th century onwards. The street’s popularity with artists continued well into the 20th century with two pivotal leaders of British Impressionism, Phillip Wilson Steer and Whistler living nearby.

Tite Street, SW3 (1955) Playing in the street wasn’t an activity confined to Chelsea’s mean streets as this view of Tite Street shows. Baseball is being played here. In spotted dressed and suit trousers, the young (possibly American) boys and girls look dashing as they frolic around under the sun peaking through the trees. Tite Street was formerly home to Oscar Wilde and James McNeill Whistler.

Justice Walk links Old Church Street and Lawrence Street. It has stayed relatively untouched, a reminder of early 19th century Chelsea. The cellar under the Wesleyan Chapel, seen on the right, was used as a soup kitchen for the poor. The chapel was relocated to the corner of Chelsea Manor Street and King’s Road circa 1900. H. Allen Smith, wine merchants, occupied the premise from 1903 to 1985. According to local legend, a courthouse with a gaol beneath occupied this site in 18th century. Prisoners were led through a tunnel to boats moored on the river to be transported to Australia.
