Tower Bridge, Southern Main Pier, Masonry Superstructure, October 1893: A Glimpse into the Past of London's Iconic Landmark This photograph, taken in October 1893, offers a unique perspective of the Southern Main Pier and masonry superstructure of Tower Bridge during its late Victorian construction phase. The bridge, an engineering feat and a symbol of London's transport history, was undergoing its final stages of completion. The image showcases the intricate details of the masonry superstructure, with its archaic style and design elements that reflect the historicism of the era. The pier, a crucial component of the bridge's southern side, is adorned with scaffolding, a common sight during the construction process of such monumental structures. The River Thames, with its tranquil waters, mirrors the reflection of the bridge, emphasizing its grandeur and majesty. The bascule bridge, a testament to the ingenuity of the late 1800s, stands tall and proud, ready to open its towers and allow the passage of ships. The photograph, taken by Terry Parker, transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the construction process of this iconic landmark. The image encapsulates the essence of London's rich history, showcasing the blend of the old and the new, the past and the present. This photograph is not only a visual treat but also a reminder of the remarkable engineering achievements of the late 1800s.
