In 1968, American businessmen Robert P. Mc Culloch & C. V. Wood bought London Bridge, had it dismantled & transported it piece-by-piece to Arizona. Three years later, the re-erected landmark opened in Lake Havasu City. A slice of old England had arrived in the desert. Travis Elborough's London Bridge in America: The Tall Story of a Transatlantic Crossing is a tale of one of the stranger episodes of Anglo-American relations: why did the Americans want it? How do you transport a 280-metre bridge 3, 000 miles across the Atlantic? Did Londoners bemoan a lost landmark? These questions are answered by a cast of Disneyland creators, chainsaw inventors, Swedish businessmen &, at the end of the process, cameos from Tom Jones & The Carpenters: characters as unlikely & eclectic as the story itself. Charming, funny & revealing
- this is a story primarily about a classical granite bridge, but also the humans who shaped its future. Get your copy today!
