Postcard titled 'Buffalo Harbour, East London'. Postmarked 13 January 1928 W. E. Courtney, Newsagent, East London. Printed in England Visible behind the Buffalo Bridge bridge is the I+J Fishing Wharf (later to be re-named Latimer's Landing) shortly after the commencement of construction.

View from the East Bank towards the West Bank circa 1936, shortly after the completion of the double decker bridge. The lower level timber bridge is still in place and visible on the left hand side. Of even greater interest is that the portion of the bridge deck - roughly midway - which was presumably intended to allow larger ships to pass, has been opened. The timber bridge was presumably demolished shortly after this photograph was taken Submitted by Mark Finnigan via William Martinson Photographer: Unidentified
