pommie lass Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I was just looking through some photos of my Mum from 1985 and one was taken on the suspension bridge near Victoria Park. I could see the steeple of the parish church in the background. Is the bridge still there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I hated that bridge when I was a kid. We used to have to walk over it from grandma's house to get to vicky park.and it always scared the life out of me because it wobbled.I still hate it and can't get myself to walk over it.

pommie lass Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I can't quite remember where it is although I must have at least seen it as we used to spend a lot of time in the park. Must investigate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I took some photos of it a while ago so I'll try and find them for you. It goes from the left of Victoria Park where the large white Old Warps (old maternity home now called Spirit Restaurant) is and over the river to where Parr Street at Howley is.

Dizzy Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I forgot to say that if you google 'Howley Suspension Bridge' you will find lots of photo's and info too. Probably quicker than waiting for me to look through all my camera cards, I take way to many photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
