Ploughman £5 St. Patrick's Bridge

[DOC]

I accidently came across an old print of St. Patrick’s Bridge in Cork dated 1810 and noticed it was different to the illustration of the Bridge on the reverse of Ploughman £5 notes. On checking this out further, I found that the original bridge was destroyed in a flood in 1853. The original bridge, built in 1789, had a wooden draw bridge on the northern bank to allow tall ships to pass up river. The bridge depicted on the Ploughman £5 notes is the second St. Patrick’s Bridge constructed in the late 1850’s and completed in 1859.
