Historical Stone Bridge in Lyndhurst Ontario Stock Images

Historical Stone Bridge in Lyndhurst Ontario. A new set of stock photos by Ernie Hunter A fine example of masonry arch construction, this three-span bridge was built of local field stone and adorned with sandstone wall caps and arch surrounds. Designed by John Roddick, an employee of a local mill owner, it was built in 1856-57 and except for restoration work in 1986 which included strengthening with reinforced concrete, it remains in it's original exterior appearance. It is considered, by the Ontario Heritage Foundation, to be the oldest bridge in existence in Ontario in use today. View more stock photography from Ernie Hunter here.
