Just noticed this......my neck of the woods. Lost count of how many times I've stopped on the bridge for a drink and admire the view.

Thanks @PeteXXX

You can still get a bike through the barrier chicanes, but it's a bit tight. Especially in the pitch dark!

Looking down at 'Hartleys Bridge', which carried the Great North Road, over the River Aire, at Ferrybridge

Cock Beck
Scene of the bloodiest battle on English soil, in the War Of The Roses

I was following the old route of the pre-170 Tadcaster - Ferrybridge TurnPike (where it joined the 'Great North Road')
Here, it's still the Old London Road

'Stanley Ferry Trash Screen Bridge'
Spanning the River Calder
The concrete structure (down-stream) is the 2nd Aquaduct here - #1 is Grade 1 listed (just visible, to extreme right of frame)

Normal river levels are 12-15 foot below this bridge, but in flood the river will back-up at the aquaduct & rise above the railings, filling this deck with flotsam
As seen here, on Saturday 26th December 2015 (the same day Tadcaster Bridge partially collapsed)

An old thread I know but I’ve just seen your post! @Richard A Thackeray do you know any history on London Road, Towton? I often cross the wooden bridge over Cock Beck, I live less than a mile away but I can’t get my head around it ever been a road to London, it seems far too narrow in parts and it certainly isn’t the flattest routes.

@Spiderweb
It's a good route, it was the route before the TurnPiking of what is now the Tadcaster - Brotherton road
Obviously, the encroachment of the trees/farming/etc... wasn't the same back then

Try this site for some information; http://www.tadhistory.org.uk/OLRTAP/index.html

I've just re-read that, & it's interesting that they suggest a road crossed Kettlemans Bridge, now almost hidden in trees! (& nowhere near a water course)

Is under a bridge allowed? 😎

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

@KiterStu

Yes!
(it's got a bridge in the picture)

Hmm, not strictly on a bridge, rather more under it, couldn't get access to the bridge itself
