Long Gully Bridge from Northbridge to Cammeray prior to opening c 1892
The Long Gully Bridge was built to encourage residential development over the gully and was opened in January 1892. In 1935, the Department of Main Roads assessed the bridge and maintained that it held 'local significance as a landmark and tourist attraction' and 'considerable historical value'. In 2003, the Roads and Maritime Services determined the bridge was of 'State significance' and listed it on the Heritage and conservation register. It concluded:
'The bridge is intimately associated with the residential development of the area to the north of the bridge, essential infrastructure which allowed its development to proceed in the late nineteenth century.' bit.ly/LQotUu
