This is the ACTUAL BRIDGE where Winnie the Pooh played "poohsticks" ( dropping a twig from one side of the bridge and then watching it emerge from the otherside after being caught up in the flow of water beneath !)
Located in the "Hundred Acre Wood" near Hartfield, East Sussex, England.
The Winnie the Pooh stories were written by AA Milne, and set in the area where he had grown up.
On the 21st August, 1920 his son Christopher Milne was born,( later to be featured as Christopher Robin) At this point his father AA Milne had written a short verse and had given it to his wife Dorothy as a present, he told her that any money she made on it she could keep, She sent it straight away to magazines, it became a very expensive present and Success Alan was asked to write more and that's where "The Doormouse and the Doctor" derived from, which he wrote for The Merry Go Round magazine.
From there "Winnie The Pooh" was written, Alan got his inspiration from Christopher's toys and from there he wrote "The House at Pooh Corner" Alan claimed this would be his last book. Alan realized that writing was his dream and in 1929 wrote "Toad of Toad Hall" based on the story told by Kenneth Grahames "The Wind in the Willows". On January 31st, 1956 Alan Alexander Milne Died.
In 1961, Dorothy sold the film rights to Walt Disney, who created what we see today as the Winnie the Pooh animated stories.
Today Milne's books still continue to be best sellers even after his death, and his classic Pooh stories are still children's favorites and his play "Toad of Toad Hall" will still be enjoyed as a Christmas classic.
