EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic Tower Bridge in London, a symbol of the city's rich history and engineering prowess. The bridge, constructed between 1886 and 1894, weighs an impressive 1,000 tons and is a testament to the ingenuity of its designers. At the time this image was taken in 1967, Tower Bridge was still operating under steam power and was manually controlled. Central to the scene is Cyril Twynham, the Head Watchman, who is depicted here in his cap, diligently carrying out his duties. The watchman's role was crucial in ensuring the safe passage of ships under the bridge. He would monitor the Thames River for approaching vessels and communicate with the control cabin to raise or lower the bridge accordingly. The watchman's vigilance was essential to prevent collisions between ships and the bridge's towering pillars. The photograph captures the industrial atmosphere of the era, with the steam-powered machinery and the hustle and bustle of the river traffic. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of human intervention in the operation of such a magnificent engineering feat. Today, Tower Bridge remains a beloved landmark and a testament to the ingenuity and determination of those who built it.
