A decade of building major bridge infrastructure projects in Brisbane cemented Sir Manuel Richard Hornibrook (often known as ‘MR’) as a pioneering Queenslander in the history of the state. A self-starter who built the family business with his brothers, MR gained contracts all along the Brisbane River from wharves to terminals to wool stores and more. The company became known for bridge building and enterprise and gained the biggest contracts offered in the history of the state. The Grey St/William Jolly Bridge, the Hornibrook Highway, and the Story Bridge were all opened between 1932 and 1940, opening up land, business, communication, and connecting people back and forth across a rapidly growing city and across Moreton Bay to Redcliffe from Sandgate. Exactly when was the Story Bridge built? Its construction commenced in 1935 and concluded in 1940 when the bridge opened for the first time to a crowd of 37,000 people.

During her first royal tour of Queensland in March 1954, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was accompanied by her husband His Royal Highness Prince Phillip, The Duke of Edinburgh. HRH Queen Elizabeth II captured the hearts of the Queensland people. Following the austerity and impact of the Second World War (1939 – 1945) and the death of her father King George VI in 1952, our nation's fascination with the Royal family was significant. We greeted Queen Elizabeth II with open arms on her first official tour as the new monarch. Streetscapes identified as the official route for the motorcade were highly decorated and festooned with colorful flags and banners. In the 50s, many business houses displayed signage and billboards on exterior façades, welcoming the young Queen to our state. An overseas correspondent traveling with the Royal party observed… “The more I see of it the more I feel that Queen Elizabeth is satisfying some human urge across the face of the whole Western world... the mystique of her sovereignty acknowledged so emotionally is no doubt the basis of this appeal.” Source: www.slq.qld.gov.au/blog/hear-ye-hear-ye-its-1954-and-her-...
