ALBERT BRIDGE

Albert Bridge (2001 pop.: 159) is a Canadian rural community in Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton Regional Municipality.

Mira Ferry and Union Church c.1905, situated on the Mira River, the community was previously named Mira Ferry for the location of a small ferry crossing the river. It received its present name after Albert Munro, the son of William Henry Munro, Nova Scotia’s representative in the British Parliament who used his influence to have the ferry replaced with a bridge in 1849.
