EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the rebuilding of Waterloo Bridge in London, 1934. The image showcases a construction site bustling with activity as workers diligently strive to restore this iconic landmark. London County Council took the bold decision to demolish the damaged old bridge and commissioned renowned architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to design a new structure. However, progress on this ambitious project was abruptly halted by the outbreak of World War II. Sadly, Waterloo Bridge became a casualty of war when it suffered damage from German bombers - making it the only Thames bridge targeted during that time. It wasn't until 1945, after years of perseverance and determination, that this magnificent bridge was finally completed. The photograph is sourced from "The Silver Jubilee Book - The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures" published by Odhams Press Ltd in 1935. It serves as a powerful reminder not only of Britain's resilience but also highlights the significant role civil engineering plays in shaping our landscape. In this monochrome snapshot, cranes tower over the construction site while men work tirelessly amidst concrete structures and railway tracks nearby. This image encapsulates both historical significance and architectural marvels that continue to define London's skyline today.
