An image of North Gate Bridge (from Bachelor’s Quay) in Cork in about 1940. Designed by the architect Sir John Benson (1812-1874), the foundation stone for North Gate Bridge was laid in April 1863. The bridge was demolished in 1961 and replaced with Griffith Bridge named in honour of Arthur Griffith (1871-1922).
