ent granite structure is the work of
Sir John Rennie (though his father .
actually designed the bridge) and was I
seven and a half years in the building.!
This was becauSe work had to be be-
gun in a hole. The authorities of that
day insis•ted that Sir John b'aild. im-
mediately above the old bridge, the
latter to be left standing until the new
one was finished.
Now, the old bridge, built way back
in eleven hundred and something,
stood on a hill. the foundations of the
piers being 28 to 30 feet above the bet -
tom of the river on either side, this
being the efilect produced upon the
river bed by the scour of the tides, up
and down. For hundreds of years Lon.
don Bridge had been a kind of dam,
700 feet of the +river's 900 feet of
width at low water being at one time
occupied by piers; consequently the
paxsage of the waters through the
many arches resenibled, a torrent.
Bight hundred men were employed
on the new bridge, and of these forty
lost their lives through accidents of
various kinds.. The Corporation paid
almost a million. and a half pounds on
the bridge and Its approaches.
It is a tradition that you cannot
