In his Statistical Survey of the County of Londonderry (1802), George Vaughan Sampson mentions a suspension bridge over the River Fahan, 'contrived under the direction of Mr Acheson', which was 'safe, solid, and not without an air of neatness and even of some picture' and 'hung on its own banister by means of braces and beams'.(1)
