TOWER BRIDGE PHOTOS GALLERY (1)

London bridge - many people confusing this with the landmark Tower bridge (left and blow) was the only bridge allowing people to cross the river Thames. An ever increasing population necessitated the building of more bridges but many of these were built west of London. With the east end a very busy port area and densely populated, a new bridge was urgently needed to relieve the toll on London bridge. The design of city architect Horace Jones in collaboration with John Wolfe Barry was chosen as the winning one but it would take over eight years before what was on paper became the world famous crossing we know and love today. originally operated by steam power that process ceased in 1976 replaced by a combination of oil and electricity. The bridge closes temporarily to traffic and pedestrians during the day and night many times in a month to allow tall boats and ships to pass through and there's a timetable of these lifts given in advance on the towerbridge website. Paying visitors can also take the tour which gives a history of the landmark plus the added bonus of greater photos views across London from a loftier position from the twin towers
