The London Bridge preceding the current one was bought by the McCulloch Oil Corporation of California,which reconstructed it at Lake Havasu City,in a corner of America's Arizona Desert.Rumour has it that McCulloch's thought they were buying the much more spectacular Tower Bridge.
The Construction of Tower Bridge began in 1885 and it was opened 9yrs later by Edward VII the then Prince of Wales,Amidst pomp and ceremony.It is the only bridge in London that can be raised to allow ships to pass.Since the Thames is no longer used much as a trade and shipping route,the complex lifting mechanism is only used 4 or 5 times a week.The Tower bridge is often mistaken for London Bridge which is dull in comparison.
