| Description |
Here is a little history on the bridge, taken from the City of Guelph Website: Property History This stone arch bridge remains as the only surviving example of several stone bridges which once crossed Guelph’s rivers. The bridge was built for the City Council in 1897 by Daniel Keleher, a local contractor. It replaced the original bridge constructed at this site in 1852, to provide an alternate means of access over the Speed River towards the Town of Dundas, thus circumventing the payment of tolls on the Guelph and Dundas Road. Both bridges were known locally as Gow’s Bridge due to their location beside Gow’s Mill, a woolen mill and tannery owned by the prominent Guelph businessman and politician Peter Gow. Gow, a former Guelph mayor also served in the Provincial Legislative Assembly, representing Wellington South from 1867-1876. Today this unique remnant of Guelph’s stone heritage lends considerable charm and character to one of the City’s public parks. |
