The LB in Lake Havasau, AZ was actually built in the 1700s, a bit late for
medieval era. The medieval London Bridge was made of wood, which
personally boggles me as the Thames is a nice wide river. The stone
bridge was built after the Londoners got tired of people burning their
bridge or threatening to burn it.
