Windsor Bridge was the oldest, existing bridge crossing the Dyarubbin (Hawkesbury River). Sensationally opened in 1874, it was cited as an engineering marvel. This new exhibition explores the history and significance of this bridge, the engineering feat and expertise utilised during its construction and the communities fight to save it.

Bridging the Hawkesbury River/Dyarubbin: The History of Windsor Bridge features never before seen images and original elements from the bridge shown for the first time.
