Canding Road Bridge

Posted February 1, 2007, by Steve Betts (skbetts47 [at] yahoo [dot] com)

To whom it may concern,

This old plank bridge (Listed as Canding Road Bridge #20376) is on Landing Road, not Canding Road, and is referred to locally as the Morton Bridge, being close by the old Morton Community and Church of that name nearby. I have traveled over this bridge many times over the last 55 years or so on trips to my Aunts farmhouse just a short distance away from the bridge.

I have enclosed some pics taken in 2004 on the last trip I made to the area with my mother who has always been terrified to cross the bridge on the way to her favorite aunts homeplace just around the corner.

Enjoy.
