Thursday, June 7, 2018:   The Tower Bridge stands proudly over the River Thames, as it has since 1894. 
Cruise boats go underneath.  The bridge raises to let large boats and ships through.
 
A view from the top.
 
There are high-level walkways with glass floors.  Paula decided to do a selfie on one.
 
Looking down is an interesting experience. 
 
The bridge was run by coal-fired steam boilers. 
 
The steam ran these engines until they were replaced recently with more modern technology.
 

Quote of the day:   The bridge is a modern marvel.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
