MILL, JUDGE KNIGHT BRIDGE, built in 1835, consisted of four spans, with a
total length of 301 feet spanning the Perkiomen Creek near George Erb's Mill.
It was removed in 1956. In 1936 it became a State bridge rather than a County
bridge, but when the State announced plans to replace bridge with a modern concrete
structure, the county became concerned with preserving it as a historic landmark.
With a reprieve the bridge was saved for some years. With the announcement, in
1950, of plans to construct the dam at Green Lane, the future of the bridge became
clouded. Photographed c.1955, by Cliff F. Weber, a classmate of mine, prior
to its removal for a dam built on site by the Philadelphia Suburban Water Company. Information

Abe Ludy. Thanks, Abe. |
