June Williams You always knew when someone was coming over the old bridge. It could be heard for quite a distance on a still day

Roger O'Regan Husband Bros masterpiece.

Chris Lemon My grandad worked on the new bridge. I remember him telling a story multiple times about they had an incident where a thunderstorm came in out of the blue and the bridge got struck by lightning. A number of the guys including my grandad jumped into the river

Brodie Grave Where is the old bridge in this photo?

Trevor Hutt Sad that Jason had to lose life for a bridge.

Suzanne Theyers Trevor Hutt he was a lovely guy too.

Arlene Hutcheon I remember the old bridge, from I was little. The new bridge is wonderful. No railway tracks to negotiate.

Sharon Bradley I remember when the old bridge was shut down..no-one could sleep for weeks without that noise..baa-dum baa-dum

Ian Miller As a boy, big half-way over when train came was interesting. Dive into one of those little bays and watch the big steel monster pass by really close. Also climbing down onto the island that seemingly is no longer there either
