Satok Suspension Bridge.

Can’t see the bridge? That’s because it isn’t there anymore. This is the remains of Satok Suspension Bridge. The 78 year-old bridge, one of Kuching’s oldest landmarks, collapsed on the 7th October 2004.

I think this must be the bridge that my mother used to cross with her horse in about 1950 - a frightening experience. I recall it was the only route for the Fire Service to get across the river.
