Writing about Thames Walk


Thames Walk-the history of Tower Bridge-

 There is Public Foot Path in Britain. We can pass the private road if the road is specified for Public Foot Path. There is Public Foot Path near Thames, which is called Thames Path. If you want to walk Thames river running, you can use Thames Path. When you walk Thames Path, you can see a lot of bridge at river Thames such as “London Bridge”, “Lambeth Bridge” and “Tower Bridge”. I introduce one of them. Tower Bridge is in London. As you know, Tower Bridge opens and closes when ships pass. There are two towers in both ends in Tower Bridge and it is 40m tall. There are museums and observatory spaces in their towers. The history of Tower Bridge is following. In the latter half of the 19th century, a new bridge was requested because East End of London became densely populated. However, the bridge was not able to be constructed because it became the trouble of entering port. In order to solve this problem, the committee was established in1876. The committee advertised for the design. Finally, the design of Horace Jones, who was the urban architecture, was adopted among a lot of design ideas in 1884. Construction of this bridge started in 1886, and it completed in1894. It took 432 construction workers.
