This photograph captures a monumental moment in the history of London's infrastructure. Taken on 13 October 1934, it showcases the awe-inspiring sight of a steel gantry taking shape on the old Waterloo Bridge. Weighing an astounding 2700 tons, this colossal structure stands as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. The image transports us back to the bustling construction site of the thirties, between two world wars. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality, emphasizing the significance of this architectural feat. The sheer size and complexity of the gantry are evident as it dominates the skyline against a backdrop of other cranes and railway tracks.
