Echo Bridge

Bring a little Newton and Needham home.

Corkwood Coaster Set · Four pieces · 3.75 × 3.75 inches

When the kettle boils, these coasters give the cups a place on the table. Echo Bridge's stone arch crosses the Charles at Upper Newton Falls, with the smaller Ellis Street arch giving the structure a second local relationship.

Echo Bridge was constructed in 1876–1877 as part of the Sudbury Aqueduct, completed in 1878. Its stone arch crosses the Charles at Upper Newton Falls; a smaller arch spans Ellis Street. The bridge is a reminder that the river landscape carried water-supply infrastructure as well as roads and industry.

The aqueduct bridge connects this river landscape with water supply, a useful distinction from the road and railway crossings elsewhere along the Charles. Use the set when friends come over, with a view under each drink and the local connection there to share.
