I ACTUALLY LIKE LIMERICK CITY

Limerick is a city in county Limerick, Ireland. It is located in the Mid-West Region and is also part of the province of Munster. Limerick City and County Council is the local authority for the city. The city lies on the River Shannon, with the historic core of the city located on King's Island, which is bounded by the Shannon and the Abbey River. Limerick is also located at the head of the Shannon Estuary where the river widens before it flows into the Atlantic Ocean. Limerick is the third most populous city in the state, and the fourth most populous city on the island of Ireland.

Over about five years I have tried to photograph all the bridges in Limerick [see list below] but for various reasons I missed this one. I was not 100% sure that it still existed because a local had told me that it had been demolished which just goes to prove that one cannot always depend on local knowledge. The false information may be due to the fact that the curve or height of the hump was reduced in 1960 in order to allow cars pass over the bridge. The bridge was originally configured to allow the passage of canal boats.

The date that this bridge was erected is unknown but as the canal was completed in 1799 it is assumed that it was constructed before 1800 or at a date not much later than that because farmers would have need to cross the canal.
