Ep 160: How to buy London Bridge.

Londoners will tell you that London Bridge was once sold to a man who thought he was buying Tower Bridge. That man was Robert Paxton McCulloch, who in 1964 bought London Bridge and had it shipped to Arizona. But did he really think he was buying Tower Bridge?
This week we delve into the story of how one of London's most famous landmarks ended up across the sea in the United States, what record it set when it went there, and why - WHY - was it even sold in the first place?

Plenty of images this week, so have a look at the blog as well, to see the many versions of London Bridge over the centuries.

Listen wherever you get your pods, or via the link in our bio. Let us know any thoughts, comments, requests.

Hey, loyal listeners, your turn to vote. Who would you like to hear about most?

In the blue corner, philanthropist, prison reformer and £5 note decorator.....it's everybodies favourite Quaker. ...... Elisabeth Fry !

You are doing the voice aren't you? The boxing announcer voice. Please do the voice.

In the red corner, representing Georgian Britain, a double act from America..... sensational Black boxers....it's Tom Molineaux and Bill Richmond.

As Molineaux lands the first punch it looks like it might be all over quickly, but Mrs Fry is a trooper.. Is she stopping for refreshments? Is that Turkish Delight she's tucking into there?? It's going to be a battle and a half. And we need you, to decide the outcome. Who will we chat about in March? Cast your votes please.
