The jaggermen's bridges.

In Haslingden Parish Churchyard is the enigmatic grave of Christopher Duckworth 1744-1800 who was a packhorseman: a Jaggerman. Duckworth led his string of sturdy, sure-footed pack-ponies in hail, rain, moorland mist or snow carrying corn, and other merchandise across the " wastes " of the Rossendale Fells. My wife Christine has documented the fascinating story of the packhorse men in her book:
JAGGERMEN'S BRIDGES ON PACKHORSE TRAILS.

Sorry, I won't be reading it I only purchase books recommended by Richard & Judy.:D
Never do I purchase a book because the authors spouse says it's a good read.
