伦敦塔桥中英文简介精编版
A Special Bridge or Subway Committee was formed in 1877, chaired by Sir Albert Joseph Altman, to find a solution to the river crossing problem. It opened the design of the crossing to public competition. Over 50 designs were submitted, including one from civil engineer Sir Joseph Bazalgette. The evaluation of the designs was surrounded by controversy, and it was not until 1884 that a design submitted by Sir Horace Jones, the City Architect (who was also one of the judges),[3] was approved.
塔桥（内置1886–1894）是伦敦的一个组合式 结构，悬索桥，英格兰横跨泰晤士河。它靠近 伦敦塔而得名，并已成为伦敦的一个标志性的 符号。
In the second half of the 19th century, increased commercial development in the East End of London led to a requirement for a new river crossing downstream of London Bridge. A traditional fixed bridge could not be built because it would cut off access by tall-masted ships to the port facilities in the Pool of London, between London Bridge and the Tower of London.

Here is a photo of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who was later crowned as Richard III.
Legends:Pt 2
The most interesting of all legends involves the 6 ravens living inside the Tower. There is a belief that if they ever leave the Tower, it will crumble and the British Monarchy will fall apart. This may sound ridiculous, but it could be true because the ravens weren’t at the castle during WWI or WWII.
The Tower of London
•The history. •The making of the Tower. •The Legends. •The Crown Jewels.
Building the White Tower
The White Tower was built in 1078 by William of Normandy, who is also known as William the Conqueror. •The Tower of London is the symbol of his power. •The limestone came from Caen and the rag stone was brought from Kent. •The White Tower’s dimensions are 11ft x 107 ft. •It took 20 years to build because some parts rise to about 100 ft in height and 15 ft in thickness.
Prisoners at the Tower of London
The people executed or imprisoned at the Tower were: · Queen Elizabeth I – she is known to be the only one who left the tower unexecuted. · Anne Boleyn – she was murdered because Henry VIII was unsatisfied with the fact that she couldn’t give him a son. · Sir Thomas More · Lady Jane Grey
Legends: Pt 1
The most famous legend is the one about two boys: Richard Duke of York and his brother Edward V.
According to Tudor historians, Richard, Duke of Gloucester invented a story declaring the boys illegitimate and convinced the Parliament that they can’t become kings. Then he murdered the boys. o They believe this because they think one of Richard’s former officials confessed 20 years after the crime was committed. Young skeleton bones were found under some stairs in the tower in the 17th century, so it is assumed that those are the bones of the two boys. Those young boys were Richard, Duke of York and his brother Edward V. Edward was placed there to be named king because Richard IIIs brother passed away.
Another interesting legend concerns Queen Elizabeth I: she was disappointed when told that she would be entering through Traitor’s Gate because she didn’t think of herself as a “traitor”.
•Used today in Coronations & other ceremonies. •Been used by other English kings & queens since 1660 or earlier. •Held as national heritage by The Queen as Sovereign.
The Yeoman Warders
When King Henry VII was at the throne, he formed a personal bodyguard to protect him. His guards were called the Yeoman Warders who still protect the Tower today. In this photo the Yeoman Warder is entering the gates to open the Tower for the day. At night the tower is locked up at 10:00pm sharp.
Here is an example of what an execution might have looked like.
This is the Bloody Tower, formerly known as the Garden Tower.
A number of people were imprisoned at the Bloody Tower, one of them happens to be Sir Walter Raleigh who wrote History of the World while being imprisoned there.
These are bird’s eye views of the Tower of London area.
What does the Tower represent?
•Symbol of power.
•Fortress for defense.
•Prison for enemies. •Hideout from angry citizens. Floor of the Norman Chapel – the oldest church in all of England
The area near the Tower of London
As different kings and queens ruled England, they each added a certain building to the Tower. Henry III was the one to make the White Tower cozy. After wards the Lion Tower was added, where lions were kept for entertainment.
