View of Singapore River looking from Boat Quay towards Government Hill (now known as Fort Canning Park), with Thomson's Bridge visible. Built in 1844, the footbridge was named after its designer John Turnbull Thomson. It was widened and modified in 1845 to take carriages. By 1862, the Thomson's Bridge was replaced by an iron bridge which was subsequently named Elgin Bridge.
