Summary[edit]

Description

The somewhat long catalogue label for this image is "Bridge of three arches over river in foreground, street with terraces of chequered front houses in middle ground". While I must admit this seems desperately familiar (and fighting a feeling of déjà vu that we have visited this bridge before), today's "location unknown" image comes from the Stereo Pair collection. Are we losing it? Have we been here before? Where is "here"...?

With thanks to [/photos/mikeegee/ Mike Grimes], [/photos/66311327@N05/ B-59], [/photos/beachcomberaustralia/ beachcomber], and [/photos/91549360@N03/ O Mac], the location was quickly confirmed as Bann Bridge in Portadown. Captured possibly on a busy market day. The bridge was extensively rebuilt 50 or so years after this 1870s(?) image - many of the distinctive terraced houses on the right do not survive.

Photographers: Frederick Holland Mares, James Simonton
