Tower Bridge, London - Stoker Fred Woodward

Comprising 1, 000 tons of granite and Portland stone, Tower Bridge, London is one of the capitals most famous landmarks. At the time this photograhic feature was taken, the brige was still operated by steam power and manually controlled. This photograph shows Stoker Fred Woodward in the boiler room. Two main engines in the south abutment tower raise hydraulic power in six 100-ton storage accumulators, providing immediate power to operate the bridge. Date: 1967
