- Description
- The Barnstable Bridge crosses the eastern arm of the Sixteen Mile Creek at Lower Base Line in Halton, between Fifth and Sixth Lines.
- Notes
- The bridge was named for the Barnstaple family who owned the farm on the hill just above it. Municipal records now show the name as "Barnstable", not "Barnstaple" - the name long-time residents still use.
A family member tells us that "When the family came to Canada, the name was spelled Barnstable. Most, if not all the first generation born in Canada were registered with birth names as Barnstable but most of their death registrations were Barnstaple."
"This farm belonged to my grandfather's brother and the flats now covered with weeds were once the site of family reunion picnics in the 1940s and 1950s." - Date Of Event
