Kouchibouguasis No. 5 (Camerons Mill)

This is a lovely bridge, a little out of the way, but good for day trip out on a summer afternoon.  We went in search of the two remaining Kent county bridges on the same outing, and also stopped at the site of the old St. Nicholas bridge at Mundleville, which burned down in 2001.  The crumbling abutments can still be seen next to the new bridge.

Graham Creek Bridge

Long Creek No.1 (Starkey)

The Starkey Bridge is one of my favorites, so far.  It's a beauty to photograph with the expanse of water of Long Creek providing a reflecting pool.  I will go back in autumn sometime to get some pictures with the fall colors.  We just stopped by on a trip back from a meeting in Fredericton on a summer afternoon, and lucked out with the light and the relatively calm water surface.  The nearby water meadows reminded me of England.

I've included a couple of photos from the Provincial Archives to compare the rickety-looking old wooden approaches to the single span of the bridge.

The Queens County Heritage group attached this sign quite high up, so it was impossible to get a good angle to photograph it without a ladder.  I had the same problem at the Gaspereau River bridge.
