1992

Here's the west stone abutment for the wood deck covered bridge at Hampton with the mighty Doe River gurgling along underneath. I'm standing on the old Highway 19E bridge here. You can just make out the extra step at the bottom right of the abutment that was added in later years for some wood timbers for additional support of the bridge. The abutment on my side of the river was originally just like this one, but was later surrounded by formed concrete to strengthen it. They are both still standing, although the main highway (new highway 19E) to the right was widened and has encroached on this revered site.
