Answer 3

Blackfriar's Bridge opened in 1869. It was never known as St Paul's Bridge, the north bank end of the bridge, as you will notice, is not at St Paul's Cathedral. It is at the Inns of Court.

Answer 4

No - it is Victorian and gave it's name to Blackfriars station (rather than the other way round) and was altered to its present width in 1910. Most famous for the suicide(?) of Roberto Calvi.
