Summary

[General description] This is a tranquil scene of the River Torrens and the City Bridge with pedestrians pausing to look over the railings. This elegant iron structure, with cast iron decorations, is the second long term bridge on this site, opened in April 1877 and converted to two lanes in 1884. It is soon to be replaced due to the demands of increasing traffic. [On back of photograph] 'The City Bridge / 1928 / (Reproduced in the "Observer", June 16, 1928) / For view of bridge erected on this site in 1929-31 see B 6024'.
