History of Tower Bridge

In the second half of the 19th century, the population of London grew rapidly. The port area in the western part of the city was crowded. And the London Bridge could not cope with the loads. Therefore, a decision was made to build a new bridge. In 1876, the committee to resolve the situation with the crossing announced a design competition, at which more than 50 works were presented. The suspension drawbridge of the architect H. Jones turned out to be the best.

Tower Bridge in London

Unfortunately, he did not see the results of his work, dying a year after the start of construction. He was succeeded by architect John Wolfe-Berry. However, when asked who built the Tower Bridge, historians unequivocally mention the name of Horace Jones, since the authorship of the idea belongs to him. Construction lasted 8 years. In 1894, when Tower Bridge was built, it was officially opened with the participation of members of the royal family.
