Why is it named the 'Hungerford' Bridge??

The first bridge at this location was a suspension bridge, designed by IK Brunel. At the north end it landed on the site of Hungerford market, and so the bridge was called Hungerford bridge. The market was named after the Earl of Hungerford, who owned the land.
