38-632: Is contrary to the current planning policies of Lambeth. Albert Embankment is also the name given to the part of the A3036 road between Vauxhall Bridge and Lambeth Bridge , where it adjoins Lambeth Palace Road and Lambeth Road . On the west side of this road adjacent to Vauxhall Bridge is the SIS Building , while on the east side nearer to Lambeth Bridge are the International Maritime Organization (IMO) building and
57-723: Is now the B3329. Next used in Taunton town center along Upper High Street, connecting the A38 to itself. Because it performed so well in taking traffic out of the center of Taunton, it became a portion of a rerouted A38. Next used along a former routing of the A33 in Reading. Downgraded to a B road with the same number. Originally ran along Southbroom Place (now Southbroom Road) in Devizes, cutting
76-745: The A3 and south of the A4 (roads beginning with 3). Next used from the A303 at Stonehenge to the A360 at Airman's Corner. On 24 June 2013, the section from Stonehenge Bottom and Stonehenge was closed and grassed over. The remainder was downgraded to Class III as the C506. It was also reserved in 1972 for the North Devon link road between Barnstaple and Bampton but that road was rerouted through Tiverton and opened as part of
95-512: The Port of London . From spring 2009, refurbishment of White Hart Dock commenced as part of an ongoing public art project being delivered by Lambeth council. Some of the reclaimed land was sold to the trustees of St Thomas' Hospital . To the north of Lambeth Bridge, the embankment is a narrower pedestrian promenade in front of the hospital, with motor traffic carried behind the hospital on Lambeth Palace Road. In common with other 'Bazalgatte' works,
114-721: The A321 in the 1935 renumbering; now the A3032. Used a second time in 1937 as a temporary number for the northern section of the Exeter Bypass (renumbered from the A378), but it became the A38 in 1938 when it was rerouted (old A38 became the A3085). Used a final time in 1975 between Redhills and Alphington on the western edge of Exeter. Declassified in the late 1970s when the A30 western bypass
133-606: The A361 instead. Originally ran from Halberton to Uffculme . Became a spur of the A373 in 1935 and is now declassified due to completion of the nearby M5 and A361. A small part east of M5 J27 is now part of the A38 as a "useless spur", as the A38 mainline was renumbered to B3181. Number later used for a road linking Hilsea and Portsmouth. Became the northern carriageway of the A3 after the M275
152-518: The Albert Embankment does not incorporate major interceptor sewers. This allowed the southern section of the embankment (upstream from Lambeth Bridge) to include a pair of tunnels onto a small slipway, named White Hart Draw Dock , whose origins can be traced back to the 14th century. This is contrary to the popular myth that the dock was built and used by the nearby Royal Doulton's pottery works to transport clay and finished goods to and from
171-554: The Albert Embankment was built on arches to permit vessels to continue to access landside business premises, such as draw docks ; these already had their own defensive walls — as did most of the tidal Thames . After the Embankment was completed, floods continued to occur owing to defects in these walls (e.g. in 1877 and 1928). Any flood protection the Embankment gave was incidental. Unlike Bazalgette's Thames Embankment (including Chelsea Embankment and Victoria Embankment ),
190-628: The B3090 to the now-gone A344 near Stonehenge. Renumbered to the A303 in 1933; the A3036 number was reused as a renumbering of the original A303. See also: Albert Embankment Later reserved around 1970 for "existing parallel length of A329 when passed by the S.E. Reading to N.W. Wokingham relief road", but the number was not used. Next used as an unexplained renumbering of the A3043 in Plymouth. Now part of
209-631: The B3396. Originally ran from Salisbury to the A303 north of Cholderton ; was the B3085. Became a portion of a rerouted A338 in 1935. Next used as an upgrade of the B3021 from Old Windsor to Datchet. Renumbered as an extension of the A328 in 1935, but has since gotten its old number as it was downgraded back to the B3021. Originally ran along the old A4 through Twyford. Renumbered as not one, but two spurs of

#1732775893730228-785: The corner between the A342 and A360 and just missing the A361. Now a portion of the A360, although it may have been a spur before this. Number possibly later used along Queen Street in Maidenhead; possibly a typo for the A3064 or it may have been changed later on for some reason. Originally ran from the A358 in South Petherton to the A37 in Ilchester. Between 1927 and 1932 it was extended over
247-495: The embankment being constructed to a more utilitarian design than the Bazalgatte/Vulliamy stretch. Public pedestrian access to this newer embankment was only secured in the 1990s. Parts of this section of the embankment have a provisional appearance, as the landowners still have hopes for future redevelopment that could move the embankment line further into the river. However, encroachment of the tidal river bed habitat
266-415: The original embankment is adorned with sturgeon lamp standards to the designs of George Vulliamy . The southern limit of Bazalgatte's embankment was opposite Tinworth Street, where the road moves away from the riverside. The stretch south of Tinworth Street was occupied by industrial and wharf premises until after World War II . These areas have subsequently been redeveloped as offices, with extensions to

It stretches approximately one mile (1.6 km) northward from Vauxhall Bridge to Westminster Bridge , and is located in the London Borough of Lambeth . The Albert Embankment was built for the Metropolitan Board of Works under the immediate direction of engineer John Grant (not Sir Joseph Bazalgette , as is commonly supposed; Bazalgette
323-577: Was built. Originally allocated to the Guildford Bypass; renumbered to the A3 in 1934 when the remainder of the bypass was completed (the old route of the A3 became the current A3100). Now part of the A25 after a further A3 bypass was built. Previously allocated to Wildcroft Road and Portsmouth Road in Putney Heath . Albert Embankment Albert Embankment is part of the river bank on
342-686: Was built. Route later used for a loop off the eastern side of the A3017 in Portsmouth. Now the southern carriageway of the A3.

361-612: Was chief engineer to the Board). It was commenced in September 1865, and opened in May 1868. The purpose was to create a new highway and open space, and to help even out irregularities in the riverfront (since malodorous mud accumulated in the wider places). It is sometimes said the Albert Embankment was created to prevent flooding in the Lambeth area, but that was not its purpose. In fact
