Street names in Goose Village aka Victoriatown

Victoriatown, located on the Montreal side of the Victoria Bridge was the official name of Goose Village.  This war memorial, located near the Irish Black Rock, is just about all that remains of the village.

It was a small village, consisting of six streets, each named after a bridge designed by Robert Stephenson, who also designed the Victoria Bridge.  The street names are not legible on the above map but Wikipedia lists 5 bridges designed by Robert Stephenson.

1. Dee River Bridge

This bridge fell down six months after it was built.

2. Britannia Bridge

The original bridge was destroyed in a fire in 1970.

3. Conwy Bridge

This is the last surviving example of a wrought iron tubular bridge designed by Robert Stephenson.

4. High Level Bridge Newcastle Upon Tyne

5. Royal Border Bridge, Berwick Upon Tweed

The Victoria bridge was originally a wrought iron tubular bridge similar to the Conwy and Britannia bridges. The tubes were prefabricated sections, built in England and when installed in 1859 became the longest bridge in the world.   In 1897-98 the tubes were replaced by trusses. 

Tubular Victoria Bridge

I assumed that the sixth street in Victoriatown was named Victoria after the nearby bridge.  However that is not correct.

   The 1881 Goad map of Montreal shows 4 streets in the Goose Village area.  The names on this map are Britannia, Conway, Forfar and Menai.

  The Gazette article "V is for Vanished" lists the Goose Village street names as Forfar, Conway, Britannia, Bridge, Menai and Riverside.
