A late 19th century aerial view of the bridge over the River Suir as it flows through Waterford, the oldest city in the Republic of Ireland. Timbertoes was a local name for a timber bridge which spanned the river between 1794 and 1910.It was built by the American bridge builder, Lemuel Cox, who designed a timber bridge using American oak and construction began in 1793 to open the following year. Surprisingly no opening was provided for tall river traffic, so a 12m wide drawbridge was added later.
