Original Jervois Bridge, Port Adelaide, South Australia - early 1900s

            Description on reverse:
Port Adelaide Historical Society

Original Jervois Bridge
Port Adelaide, 1878 - 1968
This iron swing bridge, built between 1876 and 1878, replaced an earlier timber bridge built in 1858 and both crossed the river at the same point as the present bridge (completed in 1968). 
It carried road and rail traffic until 1916, when the Commercial Road viaduct was opened, and the railway lines were removed in 1918. It also carried tram traffic from 1917 until 1924. 
This photograph (circa 1900s) shows an F class locomotive hauling a passenger train from Semaphore on its way down St Vincent Street to the Port Adelaide station (on the corner of Lipson and St Vincent Streets).
