Two Old Bridges
by rmajor
Greenville County, SC is home to two very nice old bridges. Both of these had been on my radar screen for a long time, and I finally found the time and opportunity to visit them.
Poinsett Bridge is an old stone Gothic arch bridge built in 1820. All of the photos I had seen of the bridge were made from the downstream side, which offers the most unobstructed view. The upstream side has more trees and bushes near the bridge, but I had fun walking over and around the bridge making photos of it from different angles.
Campbell’s Covered Bridge was built in 1909.
A nice little park with picnic tables and a walking trail has been built around the bridge. A plaque offers some details about the structure and history of the bridge.
