The ancient bridge that connects
Abdullahpur and Panam villages is widely known as “Eter
Pool” or Brick Pool of Phulghata. According to Historian
Jogendranath Gupta, Maharaj Haribarma was sworn in as
the king of Vikrampur in 1127 AD. Sukhbaspur, a village
lying west of Rampal was the capital of Haribarma. It
was the wish of the Mother of the king to visit “Kashi”
on foot from the capital of Haribarma. As a mark of respect
to her mother, King Haribarma built two beautiful brick
bridges in 1127 AD. One was on the canal of Mirkadim and
another one was on the canal of Taltola. Along with these
two bridges, the king also built a road en route to “Kashi”.
In the middle of the
19th century the bridge of Taltola was eroded by
the river Dhaleswari. But the bridge on the canal
of Mirkadim under Abdullahpur moujah that dates
back to 800 years still bearing its grandeur presence.
The bridge having 3 columns on either side is 173
ft. in length. The middle column is 28 ft. in height.
The width of the bridge is 14 ft.
