This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures a unique moment in London’s engineering history as the pleasure boat Abercorn passes beneath the dismantling site of the old London Bridge. The image showcases the temporary being built alongside it. In the background, the iconic silhouette of Tower Bridge is visible across the River Thames, framed by the industrial scaffolding and temporary supports of the bridge works. Rennie’s 1831 bridge was famously sold to Robert P. McCulloch and relocated to Lake Havasu City, Arizona, making this archival print a rare record of its final years in the British capital. This print is an exceptional resource for maritime and architectural historians or to print for yourself as a fascinating piece of vintage wall art.
