  Ms Dorothy Stokes was lucky to get across the 1841 suspension bridge ...
  
  ' ... The effects of traffic far heavier and speedier than was ever contemplated by the original designer took their toll however. A number of the cross girders became badly warped and this caused the lowering of the road level in several places. These depressions were periodically filled and by the time of its demolition nearly 18 inches of stone had been placed on top of the buckle plates at the south end of the bridge. Under traffic of even a very light nature the bridge deck sagged and rose in an alarming manner and gave the impression of being in danger of imminent collapse. In the early 1930’s Professor Pierce Purcell, one of Ireland’s foremost Civil Engineers, was asked by Kerry County Council to investigate the problem of reconditioning or replacing the bridge.

  The location... www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2780552186/ I gather the SLNSW pic might have been taken from Carillon Avenue - ie. the opposite view to the one seen in the PHM Kerry & Co photo...you can't get the same view that we see in the SLNSW pic today...more recent buildings are in the way...plus the spire on the central tower and the witches' hats on the 4 corner spirettes have been removed...and it looks as though quite a few other alterations and additions have been made to the building as well...
