EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in London's history when the iconic Tower Bridge experienced a summer jam on 2 July 1968. The intense heat caused the metal expansion of the bridge, resulting in its partial closure for several hours. In response, the London Fire Brigade was called to the scene to cool down the bridge and prevent any potential damage. Seen here are brave firefighters aboard the Firebrace, training their hoses upwards towards the underside of the partially open bridge. The powerful jets of water spray the metal surface, quenching the heat and preventing further expansion. The men on board the Firebrace work diligently, their faces etched with concentration and determination. The River Thames flows calmly beneath the bridge, adding to the serene yet chaotic scene. The sight of the bridge jammed and the firefighters in action is a stark contrast to the usual hustle and bustle of the bustling city. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, transporting us back to the 1960s and the unique challenges faced by the city during that time.
