Inside the engine room
From the Behind-the-Scenes Tour around Tower Bridge: Towers, high-level Walkways and Victorian Engine Rooms down to its hidden depths, normally out of bounds to the public...views from the Glass Floor and high-level Walkway, then the original steam engines, accumulators and boilers in the Victorian Engine Rooms...the Bridge’s operational areas including the Control Cabin, Machinery Room and the immense Bascule Chambers, which house the 422-ton counterweights.
Built between 1886 and 1894, the Bridge has spent more than a century as London's defining landmark, an icon of London and the United Kingdom.
A huge challenge faced the City of London Corporation - how to build a bridge downstream from London Bridge without disrupting river traffic activities. To generate ideas, the Special Bridge or Subway Committee was formed in 1876, and a public competition was launched to find a design for the new crossing.
Over 50 designs were submitted to the Committee for consideration, some of which are on display at Tower Bridge. It wasn't until October 1884 however, that Sir Horace Jones, the City Architect, in collaboration with John Wolfe Barry, offered the chosen design for Tower Bridge as a solution.
It took eight years, five major contractors and the relentless labour of 432 construction workers each day to build Tower Bridge under the watchful eye of Sir John Wolfe Barry.
Two massive piers were built on foundations sunk into the riverbed to support the construction, and over 11,000 tons of steel provided the framework for the Towers and Walkways. This framework was clad in Cornish Granite and Portland Stone to protect the underlying steelwork and to give the Bridge a more pleasing appearance.
When it was built, Tower Bridge was the largest and most sophisticated bascule bridge ever completed ('bascule' comes from the French word for 'seesaw'). These bascules were operated by hydraulics, using steam to power the enormous pumping engines. The energy created was stored in six massive accumulators, meaning that as soon as power was required to lift the Bridge, it was always readily available. The accumulators fed the driving engines, which drove the bascules up and down. Despite the complexity of the system, the bascules only took about a minute to raise to their maximum angle of 86 degrees. Find out more about this process.
Today, the bascules are still operated by hydraulic power, but since 1976 they have been driven by oil and electricity rather than steam. The original pumping engines, accumulators and boilers are now on display within Tower Bridge’s Engine Rooms.

Level Up! A Ren Faire Show (on Facebook). This is an interactive stage show that changes. No two shows are alike. They get audience members on stage and they choose where stories go at certain points. (sort of like Dungeons & Dragons, but on a stage-sized scale).

I had to lie on my belly to get this shot of a small stream…it looks like a much bigger stream than it actually is.
In level pasture, on the N shore of Templehouse Lake. A complex of ruined buildings roughly arranged around a square area. Judging by the appearance of the gate-tower in the centre of the N side, the complex was turned into a tower house and bawn arrangement in the 15th/16th century with the 13th-century hall-house converted into the main residential block. By the early 17th century a new residential block was built in the SE corner of the bawn. In the 19th century when the nearby Templehouse country house was built the complex was converted into a farmyard with servants' quarters. The only surviving section of the enclosing bawn wall from midway along the E wall of the gate-tower before turning at a right angle to the S where it eventually merges with the E wall of the 17th-century house. Midway along this latter section is a 19th-century archway; on the inside face of the keystone of this arch is a carved human head which is probably 15th/16th-century in date.
Keeping it on the ‘Straight and Level’ is the title of this picture.
The Sopwith Pup’s design, was one of classic simplicity using a fabric covered wooden structure to achieve light weight.
The Sopwith Pup entered service in 1916, first with the RNAS and later with the RFC. It was used both over the Western Front and, later, for home defence duties. The RNAS used it for pioneering sea trials and in 1917 one made the first ever landing on a ship at sea. This particular Pup, 9917, served for a time on HMS Manxman.
This aeroplane 9917 (G-EBKY) had a number of owners prior to its acquisition in 1936 by Richard Shuttleworth. After being stored at Old Warden it was restored and rebuilt as a standard Pup.
