MonoMonday - Bridge

This is one of the original colonial bridges of Adelaide.  It's a keystone bridge built over Brownhill Creek.  Unfortunately the Creek was dry today - we've hadn't had any decent rain for ages.

The road across the Village of Mitcham, through the Village Green or Reserve was opened in the mid 1860s, with a ford providing a crossing of the creek until 1875 when the keystone bridge was constructed by John Prince. A flood during construction washed the partly built bridge
away and work had to begin again. Nearby cottages and market gardens were also flooded.
