5 0

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.

What is pastoral farming? .. Hlo guys

Vesnalui [34]

Pastoral farming, as opposed to crop farming, is focused on the production of livestock. Dairy farming, beef cattle raising, and wool sheep raising are a few examples. Arable farming, on the other hand, focuses on crops rather than livestock. Finally, mixed farming combines livestock and crops on the same farm.

What is the effect when Theseus volunteers?

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Theseus sets himself up to battle the Minotaur.

Explanation:

This excerpt refers to a story "Cruel Tribute" from James Baldwin's collection of stories based on Greek mythology.

Basically, story goes as this; King of Crete's son was killed by Athenians. Now the King faced them with a choice: either he will destroy the Athens or Athenians will send him 7 men and 7 women each year as a tribute to Minotaur, a monster that lives in a labyrinth in Crete.

After many years, Theseus grew up and volunteered to sail to Crete as one of the 7 men with the goal to kill the beast and end this cruel tradition.
