Tower Bridge

TOWER BRIDGE

 Pinnacle Bridge, versatile extension of the twofold leaf bascule (drawbridge) type that traverses the River Thames between the Greater London wards of Tower Hamlets and Southwark. It is a particular milestone that stylishly supplements the Tower of London, which it borders.

The extension was finished in 1894. It is around 240 meters (800 feet) long and gives an opening 76 meters (250 feet) wide. Its twin pinnacles rise 61 meters (200 feet) over the Thames. Between the pinnacles stretch a couple of glass-covered walkways that are famous among travelers. The walkways were initially intended to permit people on foot to cross even while the scaffold was raised, yet they became home bases for whores and criminals as were shut from 1909 to 1982. The Tower Bridge was worked by water powered siphons driven by steam until 1976, when electric engines were placed into activity; the steam power framework is as yet kept (in decent shape) as a vacationer show. In view of the decrease in delivery at the London Docklands, notwithstanding, the leaves are currently only occasionally raised.
