Description

A photo showing children wading in the Thames River near the Park Street Bridge. This Park Street Bridge was built in 1903. Before the steel truss bridge was built, residents used a wooden truss bridge. The steel truss bridge was washed out in the spring flood of April, 1947. A new bridge was built at the site in 1970. In this photograph, a temporary footbridge appears to be laid across the river, perhaps while the steel truss bridge was being completed.

This photo was taken by local amateur photographer Milton Reesor. The photo was likely taken in 1903, the year the Park Street Bridge was completed.
