AddBy: Robert Brown15th Jul 2022 5:55PMDate is incorrect. This is during strengthening in 1920s, not construction. Additional diagonal bars have been installed, lacing in posts has been welded and in bottom left, it appears stringers have had additional member rivetted on top as row of rivets is visible which would not have originally been present.
