Nice nice. Too bad these bridges are no longer about. They were landmarks in their day. This one looks like it was built just last week. Well done. Did you know it was illegal for dogs to cross these bridges; something to do with the sequence of their trot that caused harmful vibrations to the bridges. Apparently horses trot sequence did not cause a bad vibration. Don't know the science behind it but that's what I read.
