Tower Bridge, City of London

Tower Bridge, City of London Image

Tower Bridge was built to meet a need for a bridge that could allow tall sailing ships to access the Pool of London in front of The Tower of London. The final design was made by Sir Horace Jones, aided by his engineer, Sir John Wolfe-Barry in 1884. Building began in 1887 and took 5 years. The bridge sits on two huge sunken bases, each containing over 70,000 tons of concrete. The 213ft high towers use a steel frame clad in Cornish granite and Portland stone, chosen partly to harmonise with the nearby Tower of London. The central span is 200ft and the total bridge length from shore to shore is 800ft. Each of the tilting bascules weighs 1,000 tons and can fully open in 5 minutes. The bridge was formally opened by The Prince of Wales on June 1 st 1894. It cost £1,184,000 or £120 million in today’s money.
