- Cover photo description:
- Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, built between 1886 and 1894. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London. Because of this, Tower Bridge is sometimes confused with London Bridge, situated some 0.5 mi upstream. Tower Bridge is one of five London bridges now owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. It is the only one of the Trust`s bridges not to connect the City of London directly to the Southwark bank, as its northern landfall is in Tower Hamlets. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower.The bridge was officially opened on 30 June 1894 by the then Prince of Wales the future King Edward VII, and his wife, The Princess of Wales Alexandra of Denmark.
