Central Bridge Co., Ltd., Trenton ON

Most recent update: August 29, 2011.

Central Bridge Co. was a heavy steel fabricator that turned its hand to boats for the war effort.  It was sold to Toronto Iron Works in 1950 and has been closed for some time.  Can anyone tell me who started it and when; when did it close and why.  One source puts it at 300 West Street, where Crawford Metals is today: this site is not right on the river, but it's not far off. Can anyone confirm this location?  And if you can make any additions and/or corrections to the table below, please send your info to timcolton@aol.com
