Bridging Sydney Scrapbook
The Bridge story has touched many lives in Australia and overseas - individuals with ideas and vision and those with skill and foresight, the people who lobbied for a bridge and those affected by its construction in the loss of their homes and livelihoods. And there are also the people that worked with dedication and energy to create the bridge we know today and those who participated in its spectacular opening. From the very first ideas that were voiced or considered to the realities of its construction, the story of the bridge is vast. Many are fortunate to have their own personal stories and connections and in this way the bridge is truly the people's bridge.
Historic Houses Trust invited exhibition and online visitors to submit their memories, anecdotes, comments or stories in this scrapbook for the duration of the Bridging Sydney exhibition.
Submitted stories have been sorted into categories and are available for you to read below.
