Tower Bridge, Northern Main Pier, Masonry Superstructure (November 1893) - A captivating glimpse into the past, this photograph showcases the intricate masonry superstructure of the Northern Main Pier of Tower Bridge during its construction in November 1893. The iconic London landmark, completed in 1894, is an engineering feat that continues to amaze and inspire. The Tower Bridge, a transport crossing over the River Thames, is a bascule bridge, characterized by its two towers that house the counterweights for the bridge's bascules. This photograph, taken in the late 1890s during the Victorian era, captures the bridge in its archaic glory, with scaffolding and construction materials scattered around the pier. The masonry superstructure, a testament to the historicism and design sensibilities of the time, is a stunning display of intricate detail and craftsmanship. The pier, with its ornate stonework and elegant arches, is a standout feature of the bridge, adding to its overall grandeur and allure. The photograph, taken by Terry Parker, transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the construction process of this iconic landmark. The image, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, is a reminder of the rich history and engineering prowess that went into the creation of one of the most recognizable structures in London and beyond.
