The bridge carried a mineral line across the Garron Road and on to the pier. The short lived line and harbour was built in the 1879s by the Glenariff Iron Ore Mines and Harbour Co, but mining difficulties and the exposed harbour led to bankruptcy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenariff_Iron_Ore_and_Harbour_Company
