An article in The Telegraph today shows some fantastic photographs of London Bridge being constructed. They were found in a skip outside a building being converted into flats in 2006. There were also some ledgers which the man took to the Tower Bridge Museum. When he said that he also had some photographs, he was told that they have loads of them and didn't want them. So since then they have been wrapped in brown paper and put in a bag under his bed.
They were only discovered this month because he happened to mention to his neighbour about the photos. His neighbour happens to be Peter Berthoud, a City of Westminster tour guide and history expert on London. The founder still wishes to remain anonymous but the images are unique and have never been recorded before.
