Rivets and steel.
It was a concept conceived in 1915, its design was altered in 1922 and the bridge that today crosses the Clarence River in Grafton was commenced in 1927 and completed in 1932.
The original intention was to build a railway bridge with a footway for pedestrian traffic however this design was later amended to cater for vehicular traffic.
Private tenderers were invited to submit quotes for the construction of the bridge however it was considered by the New South Wales Public Works Department that the tenders were excessively high and therefore the decision was reached whereby the construction would be undertaken by the Public Works Department.
The steel work was provided by Clyde Engineering.
On 19 July 1932 the steel bridge that spanned the Clarence River was officially opened by Sir Isaac Isaacs the Australian Governor-General.

A timeless cameo of un-rebuilt 'Battle of Britain' Pacific 34072 '257 Squadron', showcasing the splendid signature BFB (Bulleid Firth Brown) driving wheels and 'air-smoothed' casing. You just knew that those wheels were going to produce a unique pattern as they slipped on the greasy rails and violently spun whilst the locomotive was attempting to lift its train out of London Waterloo station, and for that matter, numerous places around and about on the Southern Region!
