Ledyard Bridge, Now in Color

An old email-only puzzle, colorized and pinned to its spot.

View looking south at the Ledyard Bridge probably in the later 1800s. This was originally a “pre-Curioustorian” email-only puzzle, over a year old. I had it colorized; some people find it more engaging. Probably not Historians, though!

Note Mt. Ascutney in the far background and Lewiston just to the right of the bridge.

I found the now-wooded location by reconnoitering. (Or is that “connoitering” since I was doing it for the first time?). It’s on a dramatic knob just west of the railroad crossing on River Road in Norwich.

Worth noting: stand there today and you see exactly nothing of the bridge. The trees have closed the view entirely. Mother Nature bats last.
