Summary

[General descripiton] Robinson's Bridge occupies the centre of the view whilst on the opposite side of the river the Criterion Hotel and Butterworth Hancock & Co.'s Freestores warehouse can be seen. The distant warehouse on the far right displays (in faded paint) the name Clutterbuck Brothers. This iron bridge was designed by the Engineer-in-Chief Henry Mais and built by Handysides of Derby, England. It was shipped to Australia on the 'Crummock Water' in May 1883, arriving in Port Adelaide on the 27th July and was erected in five weeks. At its official opening the bridge was named Robinson's bridge after the Governor of South Australia. [On back of photograph] 'Robinson's Bridge / Port Adelaide / 1930'.
