The Bridge in was named after a real bridge.
At the bottom of Black Abbey St, Oak St & Warner St there are two rivers converging.
Warmden Brook & Woodnook Water, after they join it becomes the river Hyndburn.
Before 1841. these three rivers were crossed by foot bridges. By 1861 they had been culverted, Cross St was the last bit finished.
I have actually walked from Paradise St end, all the way under the town center & came out at Bull Bridge.
