FELE City AS AT ám 265 ments within. A few steps farther and we are on Tower Hill. 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 movement is on foot for the rerestoration 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. We may assume that it consisted of d serles of UPPER THAMES STREET 2M
