New Castle, New Hampshire, from bridge
New Castle (N.H.)
Landscapes
Watercolors (paintings)
"For many years there was no connection except by water between New Castle and the man land. In 1776 it was voted in the N.H. Legislature to build a bridge or bridges in order 'to secure a retreat for our forces to be stationed at New Castle, in case of a defeat:' but there is no record that this purpose was ever carried out.
"In 1801 a bridge was built connecting Great Island with Rye, but after about twenty years it fell into disuse and decay. In 1822 the present bridges were built, uniting it with Portsmouth by the way of Shapley’s and Amazeen’s (or Goat) Islands; the whole length of the bridges being 2371 feet. In 1874, when the fine Hotel Wentworth was erected, another bridge was built to the main land at the mouth of Sagamore Creek, often called Davis’ Point."
Excerpted from The Portsmouth Guide Book, 1896, by Sarah Haven Foster.
Inscription reads, "View from New Castle bridge."
