EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of London's iconic Tower Bridge, taken circa 1903. The image showcases the bustling activity on the bridge as horse-drawn carts and wagons laden with barrels make their way across the bascule bridge, a testament to the city's thriving commerce during the early 1900s. Tower Bridge, a true engineering marvel, was completed in 1894 and was hailed as a modern wonder of the world. Its unique design, featuring two towers that house the bascule mechanisms, allowed the bridge to open to allow the passage of tall ships up the River Thames. The photograph, taken in October 1903, captures the bridge in its full glory as it serves as a vital artery for the movement of goods and people in the heart of London. The horses, their coats glistening with sweat, pull the carts, their drivers focused on navigating the bridge's narrow walkways. The River Thames, a hive of activity, is dotted with boats and ships, adding to the scene's sense of energy and dynamism. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into London's past, a time when horse-drawn transport reigned supreme and the city's commerce was at the height of its power. It is a reminder of the rich history and vibrant culture that continues to make London one of the most fascinating and captivating cities in the world.
