About this object
Postcard view of a railway bridge over Waikanae stream, Gisborne, possibly taken in 1910.
The bridge crosses the Taruheru River. The photograph has been taken from the bank of the river. Part of the structure of the bridge has been washed away, leaving the railway line suspended in the air.
Cottages are located on the opposite bank of the river.
Photographer, Lawrence Anderson Ellerbeck.
