Downstream

most familiar bridges in the
world, regularly featured in
films and tourist literature.
It’s the only Thames bridge
which can be raised, the
middle section being lifted
four or five times a week to
allow large vessels to pass
underneath. ‘I want to go on
the beach!’ a man at the top
of the steps shouts to his
children and I think, why?
There’s nothing much to see
down here.
