Opening of Fergusson Bridge, Cambridge, 1964
Shared by Cambridge Museum
In 1964 the Fergusson Bridge, also known as the Low Bridge, was opened (the third bridge in Cambridge’s history to have been erected on the same spot). The Mayoral car appears to be the first to drive over with crowds waiting to follow. The bridge was named after the Governor General Sir Bernard Fergusson who had family living at the Gorton Estate (Karāpiro) in the 1870s. The bridge was opened in 1964 with the firm North, Swarbrick, Mills and Westwood winning an award for its design.
