The London Bridge in Arizona is certainly older than the one now in use. It was opened in 1831, and widened from 52 feet to 65 feet in 1901. But when we talk about "old" London Bridge we usually mean not even the one that "new" bridge replaced but an even earlier structure, built of timber and with wooden houses standing on it, that in John Lothropp's day would have been one of the great sights of London.
