Heritage-Listed Bridge Still in Use
Morpeth Bridge的点评
点评：It might look like just a simple, quaint bridge but this is actually a rare and heritage-listed bridge. Only two of these Allan timber truss bridges have survived (the other one is in Woodville).
When it was built between 1896 - 1898, people still mostly travelled by horse and cart, steamship or train. Motor cars were a new-fangled contraption and were only just being introduced in the 1890s.
The opening of the bridge was a big deal. A grand opening ceremony was held in 1898 - the Morpeth Brass band played, local school children formed a long procession and political speeches were given.
Locals told us that nowadays the bridge is often illuminated at night, with colourful lights. We were only in Morpeth for the day so we didn’t see that.
Unless you have a passion for bridge engineering, this is only a very quick stop, after which you can head across the road to the classic old-school Australian pub, the Commercial. From the Verandah Bar, you can look down over the bridge and river, with a drink in hand.

翻译：它可能看起来只是一座简单、古朴的桥梁，但这实际上是一座罕见的遗产名录桥梁。这些艾伦木桁架桥中只有两座幸存（另一座位于伍德维尔）。
1896年至1898年建成时，人们出行仍主要乘坐马车、轮船或火车。汽车是一种新型装置，在 1890 年代才刚刚推出。
大桥的开通是一件大事。 1898 年举行了盛大的开幕式，莫佩斯铜管乐队演奏，当地学童列队游行，并发表政治演讲。
当地人告诉我们，现在这座桥在晚上经常被灯光照亮，五光十色。我们只在莫珀斯呆了一天，所以我们没有看到这一点。
除非您对桥梁工程充满热情，否则这只是一个非常快速的停留，之后您可以穿过马路前往经典的澳大利亚老式酒吧 Commercial。从 Verandah 酒吧，您可以手捧饮品，俯瞰桥梁和河流。
