This 1971 photograph shows Tower Bridge from the River Thames, with one of its great Gothic-style towers rising above the bascules and a yacht moored in the foreground. Behind the bridge, cranes dominate the skyline as the Tower Hotel is under construction, capturing a moment when this stretch of the riverside was beginning to change through large-scale modern redevelopment. The contrast between the late-Victorian bridge and the new building works beyond is what gives the scene much of its interest, setting one of London’s best-known landmarks against the city’s changing waterfront. More than just a river view, it records Tower Bridge in 1971 with the future Tower Hotel still only a building site behind it.
