London bridge at the turn of century and a similar view of the new London bridge today.
The viewpoint of the older photo is higher in elevation than the newer one but it's still interesting how much of the old skyline (i.e. Church spires) is now completely invisible due to the inexorable rise of skyscrapers, the top of Fishmongers hall (to the left of the far end of the bridge) is still visible in the modern view but clearly looks so much bigger in the old picture and the new bridge is quite a bit wider than the old one, which by the way is the bridge that was correctly dismantled and shipped to Arizona, USA (contrary to the urban myth) see photo of it's new home below..
