  • Four Bridge Walking Route Visitor Information Pack
    Four Bridge Walking Route Visitor Information Pack Millennium Bridge Owner: Bridge House Estates Completed: 2000 Designer: Arup Group, Foster + Partners and Sir Anthony Caro Millennium Bridge was London’s first new pedestrian bridge for over a century. The design was chosen through open competition and was won by Foster & Partners and Sir Anthony Caro with Arup. The bridge is an unusually shallow stressed cable suspension bridge, specifically designed to provide spectacular views of St Paul’s Cathedral and Tate Modern. The bridge was dedicated by Queen Elizabeth II and originally opened in 2000. The sheer volume of pedestrian traffic on the bridge on opening days (90,000 people) caused an unexpected swaying motion, causing it to be nicknamed ‘The Wobbly Bridge’. This problem was fixed by the retrofitting of 37 fluid-viscous (energy dissipating) dampers to control horizontal movement and 52 tuned mass (inertial) dampers to control vertical movement. The bridge was reopened in 2002 and has not been subject to significant vibration since. Inspired by Sir Norman Foster’s love of superhero Flash Gordon, the architect’s original lighting scheme was designed to incorporate a ‘blade of light’. Alas this was not successfully realised at the time. For Illuminated River, Leo Villareal consulted Fosters & Partners so that he could reference the original lighting concept in his artwork for Millennium Bridge. Artist Ben Wilson can often be found painting miniature works of art on discarded chewing gum on the walkways. If you look closely at the grooves of Millennium Bridge, you can discover up to 400 works of art. Artist’s Vision Illuminated River's pulse of light mirrors the movements of people crossing the bridge, highlighting their faces and casting silhouettes that enhance the bridge structure, while preserving the inky darkness of the Thames below.

Upon the whole, however, it has the advantage of the oaks in strength, except those marked No. 7 and 8, which were remarkably fine specimens ; but it will be found by referring to Barlow's Essay to greatly exceed the strength of oak in general. The results of the oak experiments seem certainly to be in favour of the fast grown. " These experiments," Mr. Wi- thers observes, " throw new light upon the subject, and lead to the most important conclusions.

  • London Bridge Owner: Bridge House Estates Completed: 1973 Designer: Lord Holford and Mott Hay & Anderson
    Illuminated River Historical Information Pack London Bridge Owner: Bridge House Estates Completed: 1973 Designer: Lord Holford and Mott Hay & Anderson There has been a bridge on this site for almost as long as there has been a city of London. The first was erected over 2,000 years ago, with successive bridges built by the Romans, William the Conqueror and King John. In 1014 the Danes had seized London. In an effort to reclaim the English crown, the Saxon King Ethelred the Unready attacked the bridge with the help of a Viking raiding party led by King of Olaf of Norway. They sailed up the Thames, tied their boats to the wooden bridge supports and rowed away on the tide, pulling the bridge down behind them and giving rise to the famous song ‘London Bridge is Falling Down.’ During the Tudor period around 600 buildings lined the bridge, some over six stories tall. In fact it was so heavily populated that it became a ward of the city. The heads of traitors used to be impaled on the poles of the bridge’s gatehouse, among them William Wallace d.1305), Thomas More (d.1535) and Thomas Cromwell (d.1540). In 1722, when the carts, coaches and carriages caused too much congestion on London Bridge, the Lord Mayor decreed that all vehicles should keep to the left, which later became the rule for all roads in Britain. By 1763, the houses and shops lining the bridge were removed to provide extra clearance for the increased traffic. A severe frost caused permanent damage to the bridge in 1813 and a design competition was arranged calling for entries for its replacement.

The first was erected over 2,000 years ago, with successive bridges built by the Romans, William the Conqueror and King John. In 1014 the Danes had seized London. In an effort to reclaim the English crown, the Saxon King Ethelred the Unready attacked the bridge with the help of a Viking raiding party led by King of Olaf of Norway. They sailed up the Thames, tied their boats to the wooden bridge supports and rowed away on the tide, pulling the bridge down behind them and giving rise to the famous song ‘London Bridge is Falling Down.’ During the Tudor period around 600 buildings lined the bridge, some over six stories tall. In fact it was so heavily populated that it became a ward of the city. The heads of traitors used to be impaled on the poles of the bridge’s gatehouse, among them William Wallace d.1305), Thomas More (d.1535) and Thomas Cromwell (d.1540). In 1722, when the carts, coaches and carriages caused too much congestion on London Bridge, the Lord Mayor decreed that all vehicles should keep to the left, which later became the rule for all roads in Britain. By 1763, the houses and shops lining the bridge were removed to provide extra clearance for the increased traffic. A severe frost caused permanent damage to the bridge in 1813 and a design competition was arranged calling for entries for its replacement.
