Bridge Documentation

This long-abandoned bridge is a surprise in this region, a large stone arch span that is rare in this part of Ontario. It has had steel braces added to it as a repair and alteration. The underlying stone appears to be unaltered however.

Above: This ca. 1905 historical photo from the Elgin County Archives shows the bridge without its steel bracing on it.

This bridge is tagged with the following special condition(s): Unorganized Photos
