Lynn - I think you'll find that the 'Adams' referred to is in fact the Douglas bridge mentioned; i.e. Adams bridge, near the Saddle at Newtown.

I used to live in the house next door to the one in the picture. My Grandparents lived there Hurley/McKeon.

What a lovely little lad - typical child of the 40s/ 50s- reminds me of 'Just William' !
