Build the bridge!

It took 5 companies and 432 construction workers, 8 years to build Tower Bridge.

Two massive piers were sunk into the river bed to support the construction, and over 11,000 tons of steel provided the framework for the Towers and Walkways. This framework was clad in Cornish granite and Portland Stone to protect the underlying steelwork and to give the Bridge a more pleasing appearance.

Use the beaver/cub or scout/explorer templates below to print out and stick together the tower bridge model.

With grateful thanks to Cannon.

Option 2

Use empty boxes, toilet roll tubes and whatever you can lay your hands on to build your own scrap heap tower bridge model.
