Description:

J. Westwood & Co., Steel Erectors, Westferry Road, Isle of Dogs. Taken prior to work undertaken to raise the catwalk on Tower Bridge, which had dropped about six inches in the centre. The catwalk was lifted with small ‘pancake' jacks and as it was lifted, the hauser ropes were tightened. by George Dack
