Site: Ghost of old London Bridge (1 memorial)

SE1, Tooley Street

To the casual passerby these strips look like the expansion joints one sees on bridges. It was David Brown who drew our attention to what is actually a "ghost" of the approach road to old London Bridge. Sadly much of the glass in the strips has been damaged or lost.
