History of London Bridge
The London Bridge is falling down is based on the one of the
most famous landmarks in London. Its history can be traced to the Roman occupation of England in the first century.
The first London Bridge was made of wood and clay and was fortified or re-built with the various materials mentioned
in the children's nursery rhyme. Many disasters struck the bridges. Viking invaders destroyed the bridge in the
1000's which led to a fortified design, complete with a drawbridge. Building materials changed due to the many fires
that broke out on the bridge.
