When London Bridge was sold in the 1960s it was also on the buyer to pick it up from its original location and transport it to the US
I remember the day I decided to finally go see the London Bridge and I drove over it three times trying to find it.
I have to look this up each time I am reminded of it, to make sure it's not some absurd urban legend.
In the TV show "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" the plot revolves around a gang of Geordie brickies who are contracted to dismantle an iconic bridge, The Tees Transport Bridge, from England and rebuild it for a wealthy buyer in Arizona
