Glebe Island Bridge collapse, August 1899

  • beachcomber australia said:
    Not the "Hawkesbury River", but the collapse of the old Glebe Island Bridge in August 1899. The new bridge was being built alongside; some of the new embankment slipped over and smashed the old wooden structure. Read All About It ! - SMH, 07/08/1899 p.7 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14253629 More illustrations - AT&CJ, 12/08/1899 p.23 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/71332068 I think we are looking from Pyrmont towards Balmain. GoogleMapsSatellite - maps.google.com.au/maps?ll=-33.868015,151.18579&spn=0... That is something I never knew about!

    beachcomber australia Wow, thanks once again beachcomber. It looks like you're right, especially because of that drawing in the article from the 12 August. We will update our records with this information.

    If anyone, anywhere, can get details on when the raised section of the old bridge was inserted, that'd be just great! ;)

    *Red Herring Alert* [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] The "prominent house", Hampton Villa, has Sir Henry Parkes connections ... Andy Brill knows all about it - see comments etc here -

    A aerial photo taken in 1951 shows the wharf as dead centre on the western tip of Pyrmont, it also "Hampton Villa', on the other side of Johnstons Bay.
