Bellbank Bridge

The Bellbank Covered Bridge was a covered bridge that spanned the Octoraro Creek on the border between Colerain Township, Lancaster County and Upper Oxford Township, Chester County in Pennsylvania.

The 112 ft (34 m) bridge was located on Street Road near Pennsylvania Route 472.

It was named after Revolutionary War Colonel James Patterson Bell, who had his home, gristmill, and sawmill located in the 1,200-acre (4.9 km2) plot of land where the bridge was built.

In June 1860 the bridge caught on fire after being struck by lightning.

The fire was ruled as arson when a blackened gas can was found in the center of the burnt-out bridge.
