Thanks once again Vi. Its a clue for another Maguire searcher who might be distantly related to me. His family lore speaks of a bridge like that and it might be a clue as to where his family came from.

Could it be the Ballindarragh bridge on the Gola Road? Its the only wide enough bridge I can think of on the same river (now called the Colebrook River) as Maguiresbridge. I might be out that way tomorrow. If the weather holds up Ill try and count the number of arches on it!

Being an ex Railway employee I think of the many Railway Bridges or Viaducts that would have a number of arches to carry the trains across a river Road or Valley to reduct the gradient.. One example is the Boyne Railway Bridge which incidently has seven arches carrying the railway up to c60 ft above the roadway.. Annother was the Weir's Girder Bridge over the River Erne but I can't remember how many Stancheons it had. It is about 70 years since I climbed it one Tuesday. When I got in throu the door of my home on the Friday my mother gave me such a whach. She had happened to be on the railcar and saw me sheltering in one of the Boxes formed by the Girders to let the train pass. A sore lesson learned that evening.
