Panmure Bridge

Why the Panmure Bridge was built.

Did you know that the Panmure bridge was built three times?. The first Panmure bridge was constructed in 1854, the second Panmure bridge was constructed in 1916 and the third Panmure bridge was constructed in 1959.

Before all the Panmure bridges were constructed there was a punt, whenever anyone wanted to use the punt it had to be good weather to go on it.

People got tired of waiting for the weather to get good so they wanted a bridge. The first bridge was made from wood and iron, it wasn't strong so they didn't let heavy things on it.

Then the second Panmure bridge was built because the first Panmure bridge wasn't strong and so it broke. The second Panmure bridge was made from iron and wood and concrete. A few years later people were noticing cracks in the concrete, so they made the third Panmure bridge.

The third Panmure bridge was built in 1864 and it’s still standing until this day. Do you think in a few more years will have the fourth Panmure bridge?

This week our focus for Mrs Anderson writing group was why the Panmure bridge built, the Panmure bridge was built because people were getting tired of wait for the person that was sailing the punt to come and they were tired of waiting for the weather to get good so they want a bridge, if you want to know what happens next or if you want to know if they built the Panmure bridge and when you have to read my Expiation.
