Location of former Wooden Bridge in Pinelands

Not many will remember this as it was in the late 1960's, but there was an alley way between the houses where the green bar indicates. I seem to remember the bridge was made of massive wooden sleepers bound with thick wire. I think the bridge across Nightingale Way is dated around 1963, so this old wooden bridge was probably doing daily duty up to that date. If you look on a map like Google Maps, where property boundaries are shown, you'll actually see the space still shown between the properties where the alley way ran on both sides of the river.

You can find the spot along the canal path at -33.943435S, 18.506314E.
