This was erected by the Royal Engineers, who have a camp on Vauxhall Fields, in 1931 as a replacement for an earlier structure. It's an Inglis bridge, so named after its inventor, Sir Charles Edward Inglis, who designed it to be portable, lightweight and easily erectable by a single army unit in the space of an afternoon. This is apparently a Mark II version of the design.
