Description
I'm sure most of you know the history of the London bridge
and if history and memory from our trip to
lake Havasu Arizona serves me well,
The bridge was bought by a fellow named
Mc Culloch??(spelling)in the late 60's
for a bid of 2.4 Million
and shipped from London to Arizona
in pieces and when they got it all together
at the cost of appox)7.2 Million
here she would stand in her new home
proud and beautiful:
Do you remember the song
:London bridges falling down"?
Well literally that was true she was falling
apart in some places
and therefore had to be sold
to a warmer climate:
hope you enjoy
also
if I have any of my information wrong
please don't be shy,
thanks for looking
hope everyone is well!

So even bridges need a warmer climate?? Maybe a big electric blanket would have been cheaper? Jez kiddin.. I read a bit about this.. was quite a task.. especially the re-assembly. Anybody got brick #802315? I laid it right here!!! Now bricks just don't walk away.. or do they? Wonder if any graffite survived? John heart Jane.. etc? Cool pic Evie! Hope all's well! Dave :^) V
