A few snapshots from Buses by the Bridge 27. “The bridge” refers to the London Bridge which, for some reason, is here in Arizona. About 600 buses.

[QUOTE="JLT, post: 641925, member: 13329"] Yes, that's an old rumor. I talked to one of the engineers who designed the modern structure that the original stonework covered, and he confirmed that they were given detailed specifications of the bridge so that McCulloch could make a proper bid on it. Mr. McCulloch examined those plans personally, so he was clued in from the beginning. BTW, I wrote an article on the history of the London Bridge some years ago. It was mostly concerned with the medieval bridge, but made some reference to the one in Arizona, which I have personally visited a half a dozen times. The first time, I drove over it without even knowing that I was on it until I was half-way over it. Here's the URL, for anybody who's interested: [URL unfurl="true"]http://dragonwing.biz/col9802.htm[/URL] Research subsequent to the article's publication has revealed what archeologists are pretty sure are the remnants of the foundation of the Roman bridge on the northern side of the Thames.
