Overbrook Highlights

We will visit Overbrook and discover many interesting sites, some still present and many long gone, and share memories of this historic neighbourhood founded just before World War I. We will also remember the first Hurdman's Bridge, which was built 150 years ago, and we'll visit the location of that original bridge.
