Description:
Rare engraving of Liverpool dam which was constructed in 1836 to supply water to local farmers and the town of Liverpool and to serve as a causeway across the George’s River.
It was designed by David Lennox, master mason, Superintendent of Bridges for the colony of NSW and Australia’s first major bridge builder. The weir remained the Liverpool’s only crossing of the Georges River until the first bridge was built in 1896 just south of the railway station to connect the town with the rural landholdings.
