Another interesting walk through the city may be begun at the
church of St. Saviour in Southwark. The church has been terribly
mauled by restorers and its nave rebuilt in the mock-Gothic of fifty
years ago, while the roadway to London Bridge lies over the site
of one of the eastern chapels. Still a visit to the interior is full
of interest, and many of the monuments, especially that of Gower,
are worth seeing. A move¬
ment is on foot for the re¬
restoration of the nave.
It will be remembered
that the Roman Bridge
stood some way to the
eastward, where the
Thames is most narrow.
In fact, from St. Olave's
Church in Tooley Street
to Botolph’s Wharf on the
north side, the distance 1s
less than between the
banks at any other point
up the river till we get
beyond Chelsea. This was
the spot naturally chosen
for the bridge by the
Romans, but no particulars
have come down to us as
tő íts fom or appearance.
