Watch: pivotal bridge from Winnie the Pooh book series to be auctioned off

The adventures of the honey-loving bear Winnie The Pooh have captivated children - and their parents - for nigh-on 100 years. Fans now have a chance to own a central piece of Pooh's history, when a countryside bridge from southern England goes up for auction next week.

The author of the hugely popular Pooh series of books, A. A. Milne, often played with his son, Christopher Robin, at the bridge in the 1920s. It became a regular setting for the adventures of Pooh and his friends in the series that launched in 1926.
