Description
These are the final days of the 1913 version of the Latimer Bridge. The bridge was scheduled to be replaced on March 7 and 8th, 2015.
This bridge was named after Irish Wexford settler Henry Latimer who arrived in the early 1800's.
"As early as 1822, when Richard Green, Richard Singleton, Henry Latimer, Thomas Townsend, Joseph Warren, John Jones, William Bryan and William Green petitioned the lieutenant-governor, complaining that the construction of a mill dam at Marble Rock had placed a great part of their lands under water, rendering them useless."
Apparently some things including the problems with managing water levels along the Gananoque River Waterway have not changed in 200 years. The name of Latimer Bridge was changed to Covey Bridge in honour of the family who have owned that land since around 1903.
