Courtesy of Fingal County LibrariesBridges are plentiful in the Blanchardstown area. Not only are they needed to cross waterways, such as the Tolka River and the Royal Canal, but bridges are also necessary for crossing the M50 and over train tracks, avoiding accidents.
In this old, tinted photograph, we see a bridge that crossed the Tolka River in the Abbotstown area. This photograph dates from around 1900.
