The date appears might be incorrect. The image shows a temporary bridge South of Ness Bridge and what seems to be a platform with cranes for demolition of the old suspension bridge. The new bridge was built 1959/61 according to Pevsner. RCAHMS image Record ID 006-000-001-100-C Resource Rights Holder RCAHMS Date 18 May 1961 Shows the old bridge demolished and the temporary bridge South with a pedestrian bridge at the South side. This image is Record ID 006-019-000-002-C Resource Rights Holder RCAHMS Date Image Type Oblique As can be seen no date shown. The pedestrian bridge does not seem to have been added to the temporary bridge. No traffic is visible so not clear which bridge is in use. |
