The English Village
This display of lights resembles the Buckingham Palace Gates – except one wouldn’t expect to see them in Arizona. Along with the London Bridge nearby, you get a little taste of England closer to home as well as a beautiful light display!
Notes of Interest:
Some say the bridge is haunted.
The bridge is home to hundreds of bats and swallows.
The London bridge is hollow and its lamps are made from the melted-down cannons of Napoleon Bonaparte’s army.
Be well and safe my friends!

Great photos, Beth! I should drive down there just for the bridge photos. We Americans really love our British, don’t we? My genes are British as are many of us here. ❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️

🇬🇧 Thank you John! The drive is nice and the Village is worth the trip. It is a good place to get out and walk as well after driving. I hope to see some pictures of it when you go 🇬🇧😎😊

In London on Boxing Day 1976 and crossed the bridge too many times until Istopped I stopped and asked ‘How the hell can I get out of this city!”

Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated the day after Christmas Day, thus being the second day of Christmastide. It originated in the United Kingdom and is celebrated in a number of countries that previously formed part of the British Empire. Boxing Day is on 26 December, although the attached bank holiday or public holiday may take place either on that day or one or two days later.

I like the tradition! It’s sorta like a late “Black Friday” for some. And for others, a way of giving to those in need.

Beautiful lights on the bridge. However, bats and swallows keep bug population down. Probably that’s why they live near the water. We had bats and swallows out on farm where we use to live too.
