Description

This image is one in a series of postcards from the Reg Near collection. It shows a view of the Thames River, the Flats, Victoria Bridge, and Water Tower facing southward from the Sarnia Bridge. The Sarnia Bridge served the Grand Trunk Railway from 1859 to 1989, and in 1996 a committee was formed to redevelop the railway line through St. Marys into a walking trail. Since its inception, the Sarnia Bridge has been a landmark and image for tourists, photographers, and artists.
