Coldwater Covered Bridge - a photo on Flickriver

            Taken on a late afternoon in December, 1989 a few months before it was relocated about eight miles west to a park in Oxford, Alabama. Tradition holds that the bridge was built in 1850 by a former slave, possibly a forerunner of the famed bridge-builder Horace King, another freed slave who would build wooden bridges throughout the Deep South. As such, it is a landmark of black history in the South. Some sources indicate a bridge was built across the creek in 1839, immediately after the Creek Nation was forcibly removed from Alabama to what is now Oklahoma. Whether this bridge was the covered bridge that still stands is not known. The present structure is known to have been in place by around 1850. Taken on Kodak Royal Gold negative film with a 35mm Canon SureShot point and shoot camera.
