London Bridges
Currently London has 24 bridges across The Thames.
This album is dedicated to my father. Dad graduated from City University, London where he obtained a degree in BEng-Civil Engineering. Before WWII he worked for the City of London Corporation in the Engineering and Maintenance Department. After a few years he became a Supervising Engineer in the Bridges and Tunnels Section. He joined the Royal Engineers at the beginning of WWII as a Lieutenant and was a Captain when he left service at the end of the war.
He then went to work for the Royal Navy as a civilian engineer and worked at the Portland Dockyard in Dorset. He held various positions including Deputy Manager, Engineering Department until his untimely death in 1954. His job took him to Hong Kong a few times but I don't know for what purpose.
