Where did that bridge go?
Where did that bridge go?
The splendid drystone single arch footbridge that was constructed here in August 2010 is no more [see 'Ballowfield drystone bridge' by Anthony Harrison and 'New bridge at Ballowfield']. In December 2011 a rapid thaw of lying snow together with very heavy rain caused localised flooding in the Dales. Eller Beck became a raging torrent and severely damaged the new footbridge, so the remains have been taken away and this simple timber beam bridge put in its place. There are plans for a stone arch bridge Mk2 later in 2012.
