The first bridge

The first bridge...

We went down to the yacht club to view the site of the first Panmure Bridge that was built.

It was a swing bridge over the Tamaki River the bridge was demolished because it was unsafe and to old for people to walk over. Also the bridge was used for  the people to go to Pakuranga over to grow fruit and vegetables. Sometimes farmers go on a punt and ship animals,veggies and fruit  over to other countries.
