There have been two structures called Blackfriars Railway Bridge - the remains of the old bridge can still be seen, its columns jutting out from the Thames alongside the existing operational bridge. The current wrought iron bridge opened in 1886, twenty years or so after the first Joseph Cubitt designed bridge, was originally called St Paul's Railway Bridge. Built slightly downstream (to the east) of the original, it was designed by John Wolfe-Barry and Henri Marc Brunel. The name change came about when St Paul's railway station changed its name to Blackfriars in 1937.
