On March 15, 1824; one hundred years ago, the first pile or the London I Bridge of to -day was driven deep in- to I thehecl of the Thames. The pres- 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 cross London Bridge without aeeing a -white horse. Once upon a time one couldn't ,erces it without seeing also heads, human heads, fresh. from the executioner's basket. Henry VIII. es- pecially was., fond of derorating the bridge witheheads. There is a story that the, Bishop:et Rocheeter's heacl was placed on the -bridge and remained fresh and lifelike for two weeka so that ,crowds -collected to see the mir- acle, an innident, -whicb. annoyed the King so much that he ordered it thrown into the river. This was done, but they put Sir Thomas More's:head in its place.
