Sandon 1932. A very rare photo showing the old Sandon river bridge that was washed away in February 1946. The bridge having ribbed arches, one having four & the other five ribs. They were segmental in shape with a total span of 20 yards, the width between parapets being 12 feet. Over each side of the cutwater was a recess to shelter foot-passengers from traffic & livestock crossing the bridge.
