• General note
  
  Ford Model T was made from 1908-1927
  Date is a problem. The bridge is of a type not built new after 1900, although it may have been rebuilt after a flood. If the passenger is Henry Luke White, the bridge is possibly in the Belltrees region. -- Information by A.F. Watson & cataloguer (Nov 1989; Apr 2007)
