                      This is the the original stonebridge 
                      in Bellvale. It was built in 1832 to take the place of the 
                      old wooden one which was unsafe for travel. This image shows 
                      how it appeared in about 1907.
                    Below is the bridge built to 
                      replace the massive stone arch bridge. This was built in 
                      the 1930s when the state highway 17A was created.

                      This was probably an improvement 
                      in safety but definitely not in appearance. That beautiful 
                      handcut stone old archway all destroyed-what a shame!
