 "Old London bridge, because Of its narrow arches and wide piers, was almost dam. It retarded the flow of the tide and made the river at London in old days a dirty eye-sore. The present London bridge and the dozen or more others do not obstruct the flow badly and the river is much clean CT. The appearance of the Thames in the city, too, has been greatly in recent decades by the building of extensive quays which have replaced the mud banks that were exposed when the tide was low.
 "The estuary character of the Thames is apparent at London bridge where the stream Is 75o feet wide. It grows rapidly wider below London, and at sheerness. 30 miles down, generally taken as the mouth, 1t Is six miles wide. From London to its mouth the Thames is one of the worlds greatest ship ping centers.
