Hi, my name is Derek Broadhurst from Oswestry in England and I am trying to determine why five bridges around the world have been called Broadhurst Bridge. We have three here in UK, one in Queensland, Australia and the one in North Carolina over the River Neuse on highway NC 111. Can anyone help me with details of how this bridge got it's name. Is there any historical background that would help me understand how a bridge in USA came to known by an old Anglo-Saxon place name in England?Any help will be most appreciated.
