Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Dartrey’s Iron Bridge – “One of the most beautiful specimens of the built environment” “One of the most beautiful specimens of the built environment is the metal bridge which links Black Island to the rest of the estate. It is also a protected structure with its cast iron lattice work of the same import and design as that of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.” (Tom Carron in the Anglo-Celt of 11 March 2009) http://www.anglocelt.ie/news/features/articles/2009/03/11/37004-dartrey-temple-can-be-tourism-magnet . Unfortunately over recent years this important estate bridge seems to have suffered from neglect and vandalism, some of the effects of which are apparent in this photograph. The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889 using wrought iron metal of the highest quality – known as ‘puddle iron’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puddle_iron . Clearly no expense was originally spared in the construction of Dartrey’s once-attractive iron bridge. It now deserves restoration.
