Tower Bridge has a fascinating history, which is explored in full in Tower Bridge Exhibition. Here’s some to get your started…

1910 - the high-level Walkways, which were designed so that the public could still cross the bridge when it was raised, were closed down due to lack of use.

1912 - during an emergency, Frank McClean had to fly between the bascules and the high-level walkways in his Short biplane, to avoid an accident.

1952 - a London bus driven by Albert Gunter had to leap from one bascule to the other when the bridge began to rise with the number 78 bus still on it.

1977 - Tower Bridge was painted red, white and blue to celebrate the Queen's Silver Jubilee. (Before that, it was painted a chocolate brown colour).

1982 - Tower Bridge opened to the public for the first time since 1910, with a permanent exhibition inside called The Tower Bridge Experience.

Respond to the short response question with a minimum of SEVEN COMPLETE DETAILED SENTENCES.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

In the book in chapter 9 Sir Francis Bacon wants revenge on the socs. When you want revenge, it is usually driven by a feeling of defeat or betrayal. But it’s not the best way to solve your problems, since it most of the time becomes a revenge cycle, it becomes a habit, or it could come back to you. In the rumble there is a lot of pain and sadness. The rumble was definitely not worth it, since mostly everyone ended up injured and nothing was gained in the process. No they did not get their revenge, they became devastated even when done, it made things worse for all that matters. He was definitely wrong because he lost everything and gained nothing.
