This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the iconic silhouette of Tower Bridge as seen from the water in 1968. Taken from the deck of a passing boat, the foreground features a wooden railing and a blue and white pennant flag marked with a ‘T’ fluttering in the breeze. Looking east, the grand Victorian Gothic towers of the bridge span the river, while the southern bank is lined with a dense forest of industrial latticework cranes and moored cargo vessels, highlighting the river’s role as a working port. The sky is a bright blue, filled with fluffy white cumulus clouds that reflect the optimistic spirit of the late sixties. In the bottom left corner, the back of a passenger’s head is visible, adding a candid, personal perspective to this historic maritime scene. This digital download serves as a wonderful historical record of London’s riverfront before its modern redevelopment, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage nautical wall art.
