Appraisal
This pair of limestone plaques marks the former location of Carroll's bridge. Set on the west side of Carroll's Quay, they are a physical reminder that this street was once a waterway. Carroll's Quay was built along a water channel, which was later covered over and the road constructed. These limestone plaques contribute to the streetscape and are interesting reminders of the changes and development of the city. These plaques form part of an interesting group with the commemorative plaques for Punche's Bridge, located to the north.
