            20131229_6800_1D3-40 The bridge my grandfather (and great grandfather) built (363/365)

This bridge between Oxford and the Waimakariri Gorge bridge was constructed in 1915 by contractors G Smith & Son.  G Smith was my mother's grandfather, therefore the "son" was my grandfather.  The following photo shows the inscription plaque situated on the far left corner of the bridge, but here is what it says:

ERECTED BY THE
OXFORD COUNTY
COUNCIL
