Notable Bridges; Views of Tower Bridge at London (open and closed)

Notes:: In 1876 the City of London Corporation organized for another bridge to be built over the Thames and held a competition for the bridge design. Horace Jones and John Wolfe Barry's design was chosen in 1884 and the bridge was completed in 1894. It was the largest bascule bridge of its time and had steam-powered engines for lifting the bascules.
