Magdalene Bridge, Joppa

[Claire64]

My great-grandad's sister was killed in a collision between her husband's car and a bus on Magdalene Bridge in 1931, whilst on a motoring holiday.  I have managed to find it on old OS maps and looked at it today on Google street view but it does look very wide and modernised.  I have been trying to find an old photo but can't narrow a photo search down to exclude the Oxford bridge!  If anyone knows where I can find an old photo of this bridge I'd be grateful.

Doubt very much if the bridge will have changed much since the 1930s.  The bridge did carry the main road South and also the electric trams run by Musselburgh Council.   Edinburgh buses were not allowed and they terminated at Eastfield.  There is a map  on Canmore "Extract from the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Edinburghshire 1854, Sheet 3) covering the shore area from the Eastfield to Fisherrow Harbour, Musselburgh" showing the bridge and road in the current layout.
