It was rebuilt at Lake Havasu City in Arizona as a tourist attraction. It has been suggested that the purchaser thought that he was buying Tower Bridge but both he and the sellers have denied this.
No food is sold on London Bridge. However, by the 1300's there were 140 shops on the Bridge. Because of the Great Fire of London in 1666, shops were banned from the Bridge
Yes. In 1968, the London Bridge which dated from 1831 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.
Yes
It was sold for 2,460,000 because i'm learning alot about London Bridge.
Around 1970
London Bridge was built (to replace a bridge having been built by the Romans) in 1176. It was being built for 33 years. Until 1750, it was the only bridge which crossed the Thames. The modern London Bridge was built in 1973. (The original one was sold to an American businessman.)
The London Bridge which was sold, was originally built in 1820 and was no longer capable of dealing with modern traffic. It was bought by an entrepreneur, dismantled stone by stone and rebuilt in Lake Havasu City Arizona as a tourist attraction. It is rumoured that the purchaser thought that he was buying the nearby Tower Bridge - which is much more interesting - but both the buyer and seller have denied this. Many foreigners mistakenly believe that the iconic Tower Bridge is London Bridge but London Bridge is just a very boring modern bridge.
It didn't. It was sold, numbered, and reassembled in Arizona.
London Bridge straddles the River Thames in central London between its north and south banks and connects Southwark with 'The City', not to be confused with the iconic Tower Bridge, which is the next bridge downstream.
Because the original bridge was the ONLY bridge in London at that time.
