London's famous Tower Bridge.. A huge suspension bridge with a middle section , it has two moving parts called bascules, which lift up like giant seesaws to let large ships pass through.

Taking eight years to build, work started in 1886, and 432 workers used 11,000 tons of steel covered in stone to finish it by 1894
