Two thousand years ago the Romans identified this point as the best place to bridge the river, creating a focus for transport and trade. The Roman bridge went out of use in the 4th century AD and the Thames was not bridged again until c. AD 1000. The great stone bridge, lined with houses, was constructed between 1176-1209 and demolished in 1831. The 1831 bridge, replaced in 1967, now stands at Lake Havasu City, Arizona. This accessible, illustration-led book, combines the latest analysis with Gordon Home's research and Peter Jackson's fine illustrations to bring together the archaeological, architectural, historical and pictorial evidence for London's greatest bridge, the source of the keep left' rule of the road.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49509655150865,"sku":"GOR002446225","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51748029038865,"sku":"GOR003813041","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1901992489.jpg?v=1751412375"},{"product_id":"sacco-vanzetti-book-bruce-watson-9780143114284","title":"Sacco \u0026 Vanzetti","description":"In this groundbreaking narrative of one of America's most divisive trials and executions, award-winning journalist Bruce Watson mines deep archives and newly available sources to paint the most complete portrait available of the good shoe-maker' and the 'poor fish peddler'.

The Romans realised  that it was the most convenient place to bridge the estuary, and  constructed a series of bridges, which apparently went out of use  during the 4th century AD. The Thames was not bridged again until  c.1000 AD when the first of a series of timber bridges was  erected, initially to prevent Viking raiders sailing upstream.  The great stone bridge lined with houses was constructed  c1176-1209. Twice in 1281-2 and 1437, parts of the stone bridge  were broken by a combination of ice and neglect. It was demolished in 1831-2 after the construction of a new bridge  upstream. This volume is based on the 1984 investigation of the  Southwark medieval bridge abutment and combines the  archaeological, architectural, historical and pictorial evidence  for London's greatest bridge. The scene of battles and pageants,  London Bridge was also where the 'keep left' on the road rule  began in 1722.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49578522870033,"sku":"GOR006569662","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1901992187.jpg?v=1751218698"},{"product_id":"light-book-bruce-watson-9781620405598","title":"Light","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLight\u0026gt;\u003c\/i\u003ebegins at Stonehenge, where crowds cheer a solstice sunrise.
