Princes Bridge first built in 1845 was a timber toll bridge. It was rebuilt in 1888 by the Government and was free.Street lamps adorned the bridge from the early 1850's and are set on bluestone half columns. Beneath these columns are piers which support the three iron girder arches.
The early lamps ran on gas and were later replaced with electricity.
Great photo...and Chloe above as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie, I like the old lights - so much more artistic than the modern ones of today.
