Dan Cruickshank explores the mysteries and secrets of the bridges that have made London what it is. He uncovers stories of Bronze-Age relics emerging from the Vauxhall shore, of why London Bridge was falling down, of midnight corpses splashing beneath Waterloo Bridge, and above all, of the sublime ambition of London's bridge builders themselves.

Once past the texts, an interesting and most unusual look at London, parts of its history, and modern use of both river and bridge. The narrator’s enthusiasm carries the theme.

A lovely history of London and its bridges, thank you! We so often applaud the famous engineers and architects; the 'houses' in my secondary school were named after Brunel, Lutyens, Scott and Wren. In my opinion Joseph Bazalgette did more for London than any other Engineer or Architect past or present. To this day 'Sewage Engineer' is considered the lowest form of Engineer but he lead the way by constructing sewers that made London healthy and built to standards such that they survive to this day. Arguably, it was his vision that made not only London but many cities around the world relatively healthy places to live.

If you want to see how London's medieval London Bridge looked like, you can travel to the Thuringian capital Erfurt and look at the Merchants' Bridge. This one still exists and when you are on it, you don't even see the waters of the Gera river. By the way, the name "Furt" - very similar to English - means "ford" for a shallow river crossing - which in this case was replaced by said bridge.

The narrator is so dramatic for UK standards, but even this is not as bad as American documentaries. I think it just makes him look really passionate about the subject matter. There's no overly dramatic music and excessive and unnecessary swearing or dramatization of seemingly mundane situations.

@nickmiller76 3 года назад

One of my Great Grandfathers was a Stonemason and worked on the Tower Bridge. When the first World War started he was locked up in the Alexandra Palace internment camp.

@@williamcomtois6836My Great Grandfather was born in Magdeburg Germany and came to UK as a child with his family. He had two brothers the same. At the start of WW1 all German nationals were rounded up and imprisoned. The brothers were imprisoned at Alexandra Palace near Muswell Hill in London. There were some five to six thousand people kept there. At war's end the two brothers stayed but my Grampy returned to Magdeburg where he died in 1956. His wife Kathleen was of Irish heritage. During her husbands four year absence she had a baby to another man. This was probably the final straw for my GGfather. Two years after he left Kathleen died. Leaving his three children as orphans.

If your'e ever so unfortunate as to find yourself in Woolwich, south east London, it's only redeemable feature is the Royal Arsenal, not only the birthplace of Arsenal Football Club originally stemming from the workers at the munitions factory there, but also the Thames Clipper boat service that runs from Woolwich to Westminster. It's an excellent way to view both London and the Thames from an entirely different perspective. Just make sure you get one of the catamaran boats, when they open up the throttle, you know all about it! Oh, and it has a bar on board! ;-) Well worth the trip.

Lovely film but - "One of London's best bridges" (referring to Hammersmith) - it's been closed or designated as one way traffic on and off for the last thirty years ! Time to build a NEW bridge at Hammersmith and make the old one a cycle / pedestrian bridge - things change and London is, and has always been about change... Same is true in Richmond - a one lane each way bridge which is CONSTANTLY in gridlock and which causes local gridlock - time recognise the need for a NEW bridge (but keep the excellent old one for foot and cycle traffic).
