EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in the early twentieth century, we witness a remarkable event unfolding on the Thames. A large crowd has gathered along the riverbank to witness Mr W R Gloss, a skilled diver, descend into the depths of the water. His mission? To remove steel piles that had been driven into the river near the soon-to-be-opened Lambeth Bridge. As all eyes are fixed on him, anticipation fills the air. The image captures both excitement and curiosity among spectators as they eagerly await Gloss's descent to the river bed. It is evident that this daring feat has drawn quite a crowd, with people from all walks of life coming together to witness history in action. The monochrome tones add an element of timelessness to this photograph, transporting us back to an era between two world wars when such spectacles were not only rare but also held great significance for communities. The new Lambeth Bridge holds promise for progress and development, symbolized by its imminent opening ceremony graced by none other than King George V himself. This extraordinary snapshot freezes a moment in time when human ingenuity meets natural forces head-on. It reminds us of our relentless pursuit of conquering challenges and pushing boundaries – qualities that have shaped our civilization throughout history.
