 "Viral video shows London's famous Westminster bridge 125 years ago and now")
Decades have passed and humankind continues to evolve with everything changing over time. But sometimes the phrase ’the more things change, the more they stay the same’ really does come true. With that said, a video of the famous ‘London Westminster’ bridge is now going viral which shows the architectural marvel standing strong 125 years back and then in 2021. The video has been shared widely on social media and is definitely making an impression. Shared on Twitter by the handle ‘Historic Vids’, the 10-second video was posted on 3 January 2023. As the clip starts playing, it shows the two different videos playing at the same time. While the first one from 2021 shows the bridge surrounded by modern vehicles and people on the road, the second footage is from 1896 and shows a few horse-drawn carriages passing near the bridge. But what caught people’s attention was how the structures in the area, including the Big Ben, still look the same even over a century later. Check:

A user wrote, “that’s a whole lot of wheel camber!”, while another joked, “Amazing how tall that clock tower has grown over 125 years!” “Not much changed.

So verry, VERRY disgusted by the new culture.
🤨
This 1896 representation video must be from a movie done many years after this bridge was done.

No video cameras existed in 1896!
