To add to this story-what occurred during my tenure on the BOS. When Lees Bridge was dismantled for repair, all the original stones were salvaged, catalogued and stored in the area, to be used in reconstructing the bridge to its former glory. Delay after delay prevented an expeditious reconstruction. By the time actual work commenced, the stored stones had disappeared. Lots of finger pointing ensued. It was rumored to be an inside job. A new bridge went, not to the original look, as had been promised, and certainly not with the original stones.
