TOWER BRIDGE

Tower bridge

Tower Bridge was built in the 1890s, and its neo-Gothic stone cladding disguises what is basically a steel structure. There is thought to be no truth to the legend that when an American entrepreneur bought London Bridge and moved it to the USA, he thought he was getting this one.

In this picture we see Edward Burrell's Dutch Barge Angelus leaving to carry a replica of the Great Helm from the Tower of London on the first stage of its journey by inland waterways to the new Royal Armouries in Leeds. The journey was arranged by various IWA branches on the route, in collaboration for this first stage with the Dutch Barge Association .
