The Old Rustic Bridges of Allenhurst

[Return to Allenhurst, P. 1]

This map shows the Corlies Avenue Bridge plus two other "Rustic" bridges (labeled 1 and 2). These two little bridges were removed a long time ago when the two coves that they spanned were filed in and Lake Drive was extended. (Detail derived from a map in the book Around Deal Lake, by Marie A. Sylvester.)
The train station photo above (which you have already seen) ahows Bridge #1, looking northeast. The photo seems to have been taken from the Corlies Avenue Bridge.
The above photo shows bridge #1 again, but looking southwest. Look closely at the upper left of this photo to see the Corlies Avenue Bridge.
Here is a really nice postcard of Rustic Bridge #1 again, this time closer. Now you can clearly see the Corlies Avenue bridge in the background. Note at left how close the entrances of these bridges were to each other.

This bridge is different and smaller than the others. I would venture to say that this is Rustic Bridge #2, at the inersection of Spier Avenue and Lake Drive.
