  This photo c1885. The stone bridge was opened in 1855, and replaced by an American Whipple Truss bridge in 1885: [The stone bridge (centre) was surrounded by twin Whipple Truss bridges (on either side).] The stone bridge was later demolished. historyservicesnswblog.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/whipple-tr...

  200,000 of the bricks required to build the original bridge and others along the line came from the Annandale Estate (p168, Marine Officer, Convict Wife by Alan Roberts). This indicates the original bridge was brick & stone.

  Where did the Battle Bridge name come from? I’ve looked everywhere and cannot find an origin to its naming. Thanks. Heather L
