The bridge suffered in the Great Fire of London in 1666, but the houses were
rebuilt. They were finally removed in 1758.
A new bridge was designed by John Rennie, and finished by his sons in the
nineteenth century. It was not for a long time that the authorities could make up
their minds to pull down the old one, but it was done at last in 1832.
When this bridge in its turn became old, it was sold to the USA in 1968 and a
new bridge was constructed in 1973.

The Clore building consists of two arms, one joining the Tate Gallery just be-

river and coming within a few yards of another existing building, the "Lodge",

The first and longest of these arms contains the nine Turner galleries on the main floor,
with the auditorium, education department and usual offices below. The second
