Mood's Bridge

Sadly, Mood's Bridge was destroyed by arson in 2004.

I am informed that Mood's Bridge is being rebuilt. See http://www.jamesmannartfarm.com/moods/

Mood's Bridge, just northeast of the Borough of Perkasie, is a typical Bucks County bridge in most ways. The portal is a little plainer than some. and it lacks the red paint on the upper part that many Bucks County bridges sport. But it is especially well-kept, and its site is attractive. The small park just to the east and access to the creek by way of a bicycle path make Mood's Bridge a particular attraction for the photographer despite its slightly plain face. The 15 foot width of the bridge makes it possible for two vehicles to pass in the bridge -- just possible, but I have seen it done.
