Do you remember watching the adventures of Christopher Robin with his friends in the 100 acre woods?
Well, if you remember watching the shows on Disney growing up, then you must remember the little bridge where Christopher Robin and his friends play Poohsticks!

The original bridge that inspired AA Milne’s Winnie The Pooh stories has been auctioned off for more than £131,000 which is around RM745,109! That is a lot of money!
And the bridge is actually where Milne and his son, Christopher Robin created the iconic game, Poohsticks, as reported by BBC.
It was previously called the Posingford Bridge, the structure has been restored over the years and was reopened and renamed Poohsticks Bridge by Christopher Robin Milne in 1979.
Sadly, over the years, the bridge has become worn and unsafe and was dismantled and replaced with a replica bridge.

The bridge was first mentioned in The House at Pooh Corner, published in 1928, when Pooh accidentally dropped a pine cone into the river from the bridge and came up with Poohsticks.
Owner of the estate, Lord De La Warr said he hoped “many children, and adults will be able to admire the original bridge” on his estate.
