LOVELAND BRIDGE
The crutch mill of Lewis H.Loveland. Jr. once located below this bridge, operated from 1890 into the early 20th century. when some thirty industries drew water power from the four mile length of stinson brook. Loveland, known as King of Crutches. sent exports as far away as Africa and Australia. During the World War I period his company manufactured more than 3,000 pairs weekly. Loveland's productivity and that of other local mills gave Rumney distinction as the crutch Capital of the world.
