The topography around the bridge fits the Old Country Rd bridge. The buildings don't. The span is the right size, the railings make it look bigger. The electric power history was interesting. An example of private investment and private risk taking benefiting the public. New Ipswich bought electricity from Taft but the town installed the lines. I remember Martin Somero installing the line to our River Rd house. My uncle Oliver was on the town's Electric Commission board.
