There have been numerous London Bridges over the years. Regarding the bridge which was supposed to have fallen down - Engineer John Rennie started construction in 1825 and finished the bridge in 1831. It was opened by King William the fourth in 1831. However, a necessary widening process some 70 years later weakened the bridge's foundations to the point where it began sinking an inch every eight years. It did not actually fall.
In 1968, it was auctioned and sold for $2,460,000 to Robert McCulloch who moved it to Havasu City, Arizona, where it was rebuilt brick by brick, and finally opened and dedicated in October 1971.
