Pinnapå: Åbron och Färgarens ö

Åbron The best place to cross the river Lagan was where the bridge Åbron is today. There was a ford, shallow enough to allow people and animals to get to the other side. The first documented mention of a bridge across Lagan is from the 18th century, and there was also a toll house here where people had to pay a fee to pass. The toll money was used for the upkeep of the bridge. The charge ended in the 1850s. In 1836, it was decided to build a stone bridge across Lagan. It was replaced by the current bridge, designed by the municipal engineer G. Melchior, in 1942.

Färgarens ö South of the bridge Åbron is Färgarens ö. The name of the islet in the river Lagan derives from the dye houses located here in the 19th century.
