Children in the late 1880's were told to call their elders "aunt" or "uncle" even if they weren't related to them, so this became "Uncle Tim's Bridge." The bridge was first built in the late 1700's but has been rebuilt at least three times. It connects the town to Cannon Hill, remembered most, perhaps, as the place where the town's Fourth of July fireworks are displayed.
