SD 82 SE BACUP DOG PITS LANE

7/29 Old bridge c.10 metres south-east of Dog Pits Lane bridge over River Irwell - - II

Small bridge, date unknown but probably C18 or earlier. Single low segmental arch of sandstone rubble, voussoirs of south-east side now missing, linked to short retaining wall of south bank on west side. Position suggests association with pre-turnpike route crossing Irwell between Bacup Old Road to the west and Todmorden Old Road to the east; now superseded by present bridge, and overgrown.
