           VINTAGE MEMORIES



 The Sea Bridge, one of Alappuzha’s  heritage structures, is on the verge  of ruin,It was built by Captain Hugh Crawford in 1862. He also built the lighthouse, which gives an added character to the beach,                        The  remaining piece of the oldest port in kerala, without proper repairing, this more than 300 meter bridge is close to going down, unless the govt. take proper action People of the  district and tourists have been  demanding the preservation of the  centuries-old monument, which is a  testament to the rich legacy of the  district.
                                                                                                                 The sea bridge remained the district’s main attraction, and throught to be preserved to protect the history of the district and of the erstwhile Travancore kingdom. The government should come forward to protect important structures.
