Monier Bridge, Mansfield, 1903
Item Number: 293
2 images. Monier Bridge (1903) built by John Monash (later General Sir John Monash) and Anderson. Mansfield. The bridge over Ford’s creek in High Street was opened on Saturday in the presence of nearly 200 people, it being tested by Mr J Crockett’s traction engine loaded up to eight and a half tons, which it stood well, it being guaranteed up to 25 tons, although this weight could hardly be got on to it all at one time. After the opening an adjournment was made to “wet” it. (Ref: Courier Nov 7th, 1903)
