Description: Spanning the Brisbane River between Grey Street and North Quay, the William Jolly Bridge stands as one of Queensland's most enduring engineering landmarks. This richly detailed history traces the bridge's journey from Hornibrook's ambitious original design through the arduous Depression-era construction that gave work to hundreds of struggling labourers. Readers will discover its wartime service, subsequent modifications, and the heritage restoration efforts that have preserved its distinctive silhouette. Complete with a modern walking guide, this book invites readers to experience a Brisbane icon with fresh eyes.
