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.

If I'm thinking of the same pipe bridge I've fallen off it too! I remember staying at the hotel in Clayton Le Moors where the guy was killed and dumped under the bridge. I had his room after him. Not that the hotel owners of the time told me that before taking my money LoL.
