Scouseboy certainly close geographically but I cant find a bridge.  :(

Unless it is in Lancashire  or Westmorland.

o an area called the Forest of Bowland, sometimes known as the Trough of Bowland, where the Duke of Westminster has his country estate.


Sorry to hijack the thread   But,  Ooops - Must correct this,  Gerald has his country estate in Chester, Eaton Hall, Eccleston Village, and owns loads of surrounding areas.

I have looked at so many bridges I'm getting the hump  ::) ;D ;D ;D

Carol
You have looked at so many you disregarded a good get

If that's not it its so close  :o

It's taken at a slightly different angle so difficult to say for sure but I think it might be it. I was all set to look for more images but it doesn't say where it was taken beyond the Lake District!!  >:(

Close but not right:

Wow, that one had me looking closely. You're right though, it's not it although the differences are very subtle. The arc is a slightly different, the relative height of the stonework above the vault is different and the length of stones making up the vault is different.  The fellside behind, although similar, is different.

The newer photograph shows a canalised bank on the left rather than the more natural bank shown in the old photo, although I could have lived with this if the other differences hadn't been there.

And on the side topic, the Duke of Westminster does own an enormous gigantic country estate in the Forest of Bowland.

Have you got proof of that, please?

The Duchy of Lancaster owns  a large part  of the Forest of Bowland, as well, I believe?
