Before 1841. these three rivers were crossed by foot bridges. By 1861 they had been culverted, Cross St was the last bit finished.
I have actually walked from Paradise St end, all the way under the town center & came out at Bull Bridge.

That walk must have been some journey Walter!! Very interesting as it must have been quite dark under there. Fascinating!
