London Bridge

In 1831, the "New" (19th Century) London Bridge (pictured above in the late 1890's) was opened to replace the deteriorating 600 year old original. In 1968, the London Bridge was sold to McCulloch Oil, an American development company for $2,460,000. The bridge was carefully taken apart and every piece meticulously labeled in order to facilitate reassembly. It was re-dedicated at its' new location in Lake Havasu City, Arizona on October 10, 1971, where it remains a popular tourist attraction.
