London Tower Bridge
London Tower Bridge
Plans for the Tower Bridge were devised around 1876 when the east of London became extremely crowded and a bridge across the Thames in that area of the city seemed a necessity. It would take another eight years - and lots of discussions about the design - before construction of the bridge started.
50 Designs
It took 50 designs before the bridge was built. The bridge is located on London,England over the Thames River. The bridge is blue and made with bricks. The brick buildings look like two small castles. Horace Jones,John Wolfe Barry,and George Stevenson won the best ideas of the bridge after 50 other were thought of. It was officially built in 1894. It was originally the only crossing over Thames River,but as population in London grew,more bridges were needed.
