False skew arch

Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This is actually a false skew arch as can be seen in Google maps if you select Streetview and take a virtual walk under the bridge. The courses of stone that make up the arch barrel run parallel with the abutments. At the moment I can't find any references to cite so I can't add this as a fact to the article as it would violate WP:OR. There don't seem to be any public domain photos either. In fact, other than the Google Streetview pics, I haven't been able to find any at all. Come on you proud people of Wallingford! —MegaPedant 10:15, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Babe Rush Crash October 1920

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The "Throwback" story in the Ref section mentions "The bridge is perhaps best known for an accident involving one of America’s great sports heroes. On Oct. 2, 1920, then-25-year-old Babe Ruth collided with a truck while driving a new roadster, according to Record-Journal archives." It might be notable- but it's the same year Ruth had another major car crash, so it's hard to find this one. This non-RS Baseball Blog says "On Friday October 1, 1920 the Journal’s Headline ran; BABE RUTH HURT IN WRECK OF AUTO ON MERIDEN CONN. PIKE. MACHINE CONVEYING HOME RUN KING SIDESWIPES TRUCK AND IS THROWN INTO A FIELD." which might refer to the Yalesville crash.

I can only see the free newspaper sites, so this might be worth a quick search for anyone with access to more Newspapers. Estheim (talk) 13:15, 19 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
