2. Two sticks and an apple, say the bells of Stepney
Say the bells at Whitechapel. I’m not sure I don’t
know
Old Father Bald Pate, when will that be.
Say the bells at Aldgate.
Maids in white aprons,
Say the bells at St. Catherine's.
Oranges and lemons,
Say the bells of St. Clement's.
You owe me five farthings,
Say the bells of St. Martin's.
When will you pay me?
Say the bells of Old Bailey.
When I am rich, Say the bells of Shoreditch.
3. Tower Bridge has stood over the River Thames in
London since 1894 and is one of the finest, most
recognisable bridges in the World. It is the London
bridge you tend to see in movies and on advertising
literature for London. Tower Bridge is the only Thames
bridge which can be raised.
Its middle section can be raised to permit large
vessels to pass the Tower Bridge. Massive engines
raise the bridge sections, which weigh about 1000
tons each, in just over a minute. It used to be raised
about 50 times a day, but nowadays it is only raised 4
to 5 times a week.
