I saw this in person, sorta.
On a road trip through Lake Havasu City, there was a “London Bridge” there, built out of the outer masonry of the original bridge built in the 1830’s, in London.
The whole thing sounds kind of weird at first blush, but according to WP, by 1962 the original was no longer suitable for increased traffic loads, and needed to be replaced, anyway. Just so happens that American businessman Robert P. McCulloch, who made his fortune on chainsaws, happened to fancy it. And that’s how that worked.
