422:(33.585914, -85.913)). This is about 8 miles (13 kilometers) west of its current location. Nearby was Coldwater Mill, also known as Hughes Mill, a local saw and lumber mill owned by Peter N. Hughes and Humphrey Hughes. The bridge partially burned in the early morning hours of August 11, 1920, but was able to be repaired and remain open to motor vehicle traffic. A concrete and steel bridge eventually replaced the aging Coldwater Covered Bridge in 1974, which was soon left to temporarily survive the elements. In 1990, the bridge was fully restored and moved to Oxford Lake Park. The tin roof which was originally on the covered bridge has been replaced with a shingled roof. It is now one of many visited tourist attractions within the Anniston area. 1239: 210: 235: 1250: 242: 217: 31: 1128: 1223: 1159: 1143: 1284: 1133: 1314: 1294: 1279: 1218: 1164: 805: 1185: 1087: 1118: 1052: 1017: 1092: 997: 957: 782: 1057: 1047: 1042: 1022: 1138: 972: 887: 1007: 1002: 877: 1097: 1062: 967: 942: 1082: 1032: 1012: 987: 977: 962: 952: 937: 917: 892: 882: 872: 1102: 1077: 982: 922: 902: 897: 867: 857: 1299: 1037: 992: 932: 907: 862: 1309: 1169: 1067: 947: 912: 1123: 1072: 1027: 927: 1319: 835: 820: 775: 851: 1253: 768: 48: 1243: 379:
