I remember Fred falling off the Five Arches and rolling at speed down the embankment and falling face first in the woodnook. That was bloody funny. I once fell off the pipe bridge that crossed the lower stretch of woodnook.
Most of the history the bridges will no doubt span from water management to supply water to the reservoirs for use of the Mills, as with the canal Bridges and culverts being of late 18th and 19th century industrial construction. Some of he old District Council built Bridges should have date stones, I would love to know of any pre Industrial Revolution Built Bridges still standing.
