英国伦敦桥介绍(由来,发展史)全英文
London Bridge is between the City of London and Southwark.It is between Cannon Street Railway Bridge and Tower Bridge.London's original bridge made this one of the most famous bridge in the world.
The first London Bridge is thought to have been built by the Romans sometime in the first century,with several rebuilds over the centuries.Eventually wooden bridges were replaced with a stone bridge,the first one being started in 1176 and finished years later
Throughout its history,London bridge has been a busy thoroughfare,and was once lined with shops.The road over the bridge was only about 4m wide between the shops.It was so narrow it often jammed with people,horses and carts.In 1733 a 'keep left' rule was enforced to keep the traffic moving.This became the rule of the road in Britain.
In 1757 the houses and shops on the bridge were demolished.A new bridge was built in 1831 to replace the old one.This in turn was demolished in 1967 and rebuilt in Lake Havasu City,USA,as a tourist attraction.The present london bridge opened in 1973.
