Twin Bridges
When I was a kid growing up in the little community of North East, I sometimes wondered why most everyone called this bridge on old route 7 leading out of town toward Charlestown 'Twin Bridges' for although I could easily see the two arches that supported the roadway that didn't seem sufficient to call it Twin Bridges. Some really old fellow (about like me now) at the time told me it was because the original bridge was really two bridges meeting at an angle in the middle of the river where a large rock formation supported the junction. I somewhat doubted this but stored it away in the recesses of my memories until years later in a photographic history of the county given to me by a good friend, I spotted a photo of that very set of 'twin bridges'. Sometime soon I will photograph that photograph of a photograph and add it to this scene above to let you see the original 'Twin Bridges'.
