There are so many photos of Laura and her family and friends on or around a single car bridge that I always assumed would be long gone.
But it seems Mom’s bridge is still there where Glasgow Street crosses the Conestogo River in her home town, Conestogo, Ontario .
Doing a little online research I discover the bridge:“…is among the oldest metal truss bridges remaining in Canada. Constructed in 1886 by the Hamilton Bridge Company, which at the time was known as the Hamilton Bridge and Tool Company…”
We were driving in North Waterloo when my husband pointed out a little side road he told me led to a bridge that would scare the daylights out of me (an acrophobe) in Conestoga. I was immediately all ears: he had to be talking about the bridge where so many of my Mom’s young photos were taken. I’d just assumed a single car bridge would be long gone by now, but it’s not.
