 * London Bridge **


 * London Bridge is a historic bridge that crosses the River Thames in central London, it was built to connect the city of London to Southwark. It has been built and rebuilt many times, it was first built by the Romans 46AD and lasted to 1014, then again in 1091 and 1136. In 1176 a new bridge was built by Peter of Colechurch, then again in 1831 by John Rennie. The bridge had to be widened but this damaged the structure causing it to sink 1 inch every 8 years! Robert P McCulloch bought this bridge for $2,460,000 as an attraction for his city. He had it dismantled then rebuilt in Arizona. Michael Leeming then designed the current bridge. London bridge had a nursery rhyme made after it about it falling down all the time.
