In 1890 a suspension bridge was built over the Lane Cove River to carry the rising main that extended from the Ryde Pumping Station to the Chatswood Reservoirs, from where it was distributed to the North Shore. The Clifford Love Cornflour Mill was established on the eastern bank of the river in 1894.
The current steel arch bridge, known as the Clifford Love Bridge, was built in 1929 to operate in tandem with the original rising main. The suspension bridge was demolished in 1945 but the steel arch bridge remains today. The Clifford Love Bridge is listed on both the National Trust of Australia and NSW State Agency Heritage registers. It also provides pedestrian access from Magdala Park to Epping Road and is part of the Great North Walk.
