The London Bridge, originally constructed in 1831, was starting to fall apart by the 1960s.
As a result, the City of London decided to sell it and build another.
It was taken apart in 1963 after being bought by American oil tycoon Robert P. McCullogh and shipped to Arizona.
It was put back together piece by piece in Lake Havasu City, a city founded by McCullogh himself, serving as a tourist attraction.
The reconstruction took three years and was completed in 1971.
