Summary "Chronicles of London Bridge" by an Antiquary is a historical account likely written in the early 19th century. The work aims to delve into the rich history of London Bridge, tracing its significance and alterations over the centuries. The narrative invites readers to explore the bridge's tales through engaging commentary and historical references. The opening of the book sets a reflective tone as the narrator, identified as Geoffrey Barbican, expresses nostalgia for the diminishing historical landmarks of London. He laments the ongoing changes in the city that threaten to erase traces of its past. This sentiment catalyzes a meeting with Mr. Barnaby Postern, who possesses valuable recollections about the earlier days of London Bridge. Their conversation heavily intertwines history with personal anecdotes, suggesting that Postern may share intriguing stories encapsulating the bridge's significance, from essential architectural developments to its cultural role, thus promising to connect readers with a sense of historical continuity amidst modernity's relentless march.
