London Bridge is about to fall, what is the meaning of the collapse of London Iron Bridge?

London Bridge is going to collapse, it's going to collapse, it's going to collapse......"A tragic ballad about the vicissitudes of London Bridge's history.

London Bridge is the oldest bridge over the River Thames, completed in 965 AD. Originally a wooden bridge, it was converted into a stone bridge two centuries later and was the only access road connecting the north and south banks of the River Thames. With the vicissitudes of time, London Bridge could not escape the fate of old age, and gradually showed signs of decay, and it was no longer overwhelmed by the increasingly heavy traffic, so such a tragic ballad was circulated.

But the scheming British, instead of watching London Bridge collapse, turned it into a priceless treasure. They promoted the history of London Bridge and sold it as an antique to a real estate developer in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, USA. Merchants numbered and dismantled the elements of the old bridge one by one, transported them to the United States on a huge ship, and then rebuilt them on Lake Havasu as they were, dotted with English-style houses, and became a unique tourist spot - "Little London".

American real estate developers made the British money, and they did not suffer a loss, because of the attraction of the "antique bridge", tourists are endless, the city's real estate has greatly appreciated, and the people of the city have benefited from the "antique bridge" to varying degrees and become rich.

London Bridge staged a "tragicomedy" in this way.

The second bridge was built of brick and was demolished in 1014 by the Viking king Olaf who invaded England. The aim was to divide Britain in two and cut off traffic between the two places. It is said that this song began to circulate at that time.

Two centuries later, it was converted into a stone bridge, and the modern London Bridge is the third remodeled version, completed in 1973, but in fact it uses the same name in the same location.
