Go to the top of the class feckit Lake Havasu City, Arizona If you look carefully at the stonework you can still see the shrapnel scars from the London Blitz.

I know that bridge ... it's here in Southport runs over the marine lake.

Sorry Mr Mucks it is a lot warmer in Arizona than Southport and this is the old bridges retirement home.

... the one on the bottom, if I can find my pic of it at ground lvl, looks just like the one you posted.

It was bought for US $2.5 million from the City of London when the bridge was replaced in 1968. The bridge was disassembled, and the marked stones were shipped to Lake Havasu City and reassembled for another US $7 million. It opened on October 5, 1971.

Huh. I never knew that!

Ah yes, London Bridge.

Our Transatlantic cousins though they were getting Tower Bridge, apparently.

London Bridge, by comparison, is decidedly dull, then and now.

It always helps to consult a guide book
