Canal bridges in the Chesapeake City area

Canal bridges in the Chesapeake City area – circa 1907 – 1949: High Bridge – Part 3

Here’s an east view of the old High Bridge. You can see two old cars crossing over to Hemphill Street. An older Chesapeake City resident told me that one time, when his grandfather tried to drive a heavy horse and wagon across, the bridge collapsed into the canal. The building just to the right of the first car was the Woolley House.
