About This Image

The Poet's Bridge is gifted by James T. Davis after a win at the Auckland races. The horse he backed was called, The Poet. Its victory earned him 150 pounds, which he donated for the bridge.
While all this sounds like a feel-good fairytale, it did not end happily ever after for gambling man Davis. In 1891, he disappeared from his home one night and was found drowned beneath the bridge
