A bridge with quite a bit of historical significance that I haven't walked across in years but it used to be a favorite spot to occasionally visit with friends back in the 70's and early 80's.
The one in the photo is a reproduction of the original which was taken down 18 years after the start of the American Revolutionary War.

The original North Bridge was dismantled in 1793 by the town of Concord because its use as a bridge had become impractical; a new bridge was erected a few hundred yards away. The bridge was rebuilt multiple times in 1875, 1889, and 1909. The current replica was built in 1956 and was based on drawings of the bridge built in the 1760s. The bridge was restored in 2005
