II Was Over seven Years IN building
and Cost SiO.O0o.GO0.

On Aug. l. 1891. LoudOn bridge, sub
Itantially the structure that we know.
was opened in state by William ~.
and Queen Adelaide. The opening was
made the occasion of great water
pageant, the king and queen coming
to the bridge by water in Il Respondent
royal barge. They luacnel on the
bridge itself in a special pavilion. The
building of the bridge occupied more
than seven years. the first pile being
driven on March 10. 1921, and the first
stone laid about year later. The cost
was almost t2,O0OUCO. This bridge was
built $50 yards farther west than the
old London bridge, which had been in
existence almost Il thousand years.
1t is believed that in early Roman
times there was bridge of boats over
the Thames. This gave place TO a
strong narrow structure built by the
| Roman occupicrs on wooden piles, The
remains of this Roman bridge were
| discovered when the present bridge
was built. The Roman bridge was
burned in l13G, but was repaired. In
| 1907 the Norman London bridge was
begun by Peter rector Of Colechurch
| in the reign of King Henry II. 1t was
not completed until LOO, period OF
forty-two years. In 1882 there was q
terrible fire on the bridge. both ends
turning furiously, while 5000 persona
were caught between the two fires and
either burned TO death or drowned. In
the fifteenth century there Were houses
on both sides of the bridge Just al
there are OH the Ponte Necchlo, In Flor
ence, at the present time. In Tudol
times the heads of political offenders
were stuck over the gates OF the
bridge. one traveller has recorded thu
fact that he witnessed no fewer thar
300 Of these terrible trophies impalet
at various parts Of London bridge.
