Black and white photograph showing an iron bridge over the Kafue River in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia), with an older wooden pontoon on the river below it. A European boy and girl lean on the pontoon. The caption on the reverse of the photograph reads: "New Road Bridge & old Pontoon, Kafue River, N.R. Taken Aug 1949. Bridge opened Sept 8th 1949." This image comes from a photograph collection kept by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Methodist Hospital run by the Methodist Missionary Society at Ama Achara, southeast Nigeria, from 1921 to 1944.
