Comments:
Richard Sanders Allen's notes in the NSPCB archives described the locations of the Moretown covered bridges lost during the 1927 flood - "Below Moretown village the covered bridge to the Miner Fielder place departed, also the Ashley bridge half a mile below the village and the covered structure at Harold Austin's further down."
