Description
"The original bridge was built in 1908 at the behest of Frederick
Shepard and modeled after a bridge in Killarney, Ireland. The bridge
has dangerously deteriorated and the land trust built a small trestle
bridge in 2009 just downstream. Please don’t disturb the moss that
covers the stones of the old bridge. It will take a long time for it to
grow back." Norfolk Land Trust Trail Guide
A huge chunk of the arch and an entire wing of the bridge's approach have tumbled into the brook. The bridge is closed to all traffic.
