Tower Bridge

                              

London's Tower Bridge is one of the most familiar bridge in the world. Its Victorian Gothic fashion stem from a rule that required the designer to create a structure that would be in agreement with the nearby Tower of London.

Plans for the Tower Bridge were devised around 1876 when the east of London become really busy and a bridge across the Thames in that area of the city seemed a need. It would take another eight years - and lots of consideration about the design - before building of the bridge started.

The bridge, planned by city architect Horace Jones in association with John Wolfe Barry, would finally be completed in 1894. Five contractors and nearly 450 workers were involved in the construction of the 265 meter long bridge. It took 11,000 tons of steel to build the framework. At the time many people disliked its Victorian Gothic design, but eventually the bridge become one of London's mainly famed symbols.
