Research Paper On London Bridges

London Bridges, I can remember playing a game when singing this nursey rhyme, two children would face each other raise their hands up and form “top of a bridge”. Then we would say London Bridges falling down, the children would lower than hands and catch one child in their arms and say “take the key and lock her up, lock her up, my fair lady.
The origin of this nursery rhyme is not playful or happy, for it is believed that in order to keep the London Bridge intact, the foundation would have to be constructed with human children sacrifices, the belief was the children would oversee and maintain the Bridge so it would not fall.
