Publisher's Synopsis
Observations On The Rebuilding Of London Bridge is a book written by John Seaward in 1824. The book provides a detailed account of the rebuilding of London Bridge, which was completed in 1831. Seaward was a surveyor who was involved in the project and his book offers a unique insight into the construction process, including the challenges that were faced, the techniques that were used, and the decisions that were made. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the project. These include the design of the bridge, the materials used, the construction process, and the impact that the new bridge had on the city of London. Seaward's writing style is clear and concise, making the book accessible to both experts and laypeople.
