Have we ruled out this one?

http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/photo/stone-bridge-over-river-lake-district-high-res-stock-photography/128390616

Trees on either side, slope of hill behind, areas of trees on slope behind, etc are all very similar.

I still feel this one could be it, but sadly it is unidentified as well ;D

Afraid, doing an overlay, there are to many differences, including the actual structure. The depth of the ringstones and spandrel wall are different. The far bank at the other side of the bridge, and the hillside have differences as well.

You people are amazing, you have such patience and dedication.  I'd have given up long ago and parked this one next to the Quirky Chapel and labelled them both "just too bl**dy hard!"  ;D ;D ;D

Since we've had a few from the Langdale area, might this possibly be Elterwater Bridge? This is the best picture I've found:

Unfortunately I can't find one with the same viewpoint, so I may be completely mistaken. Also I see that the modern photo shows tie beams in the bridge, though presumably these could be more recent. Anyway, I'd be interested to know what others think, especially our Cumbrian contingent.

I would SO like this to be Elterwater but I think the stones that form the arch on the original bridge look more uniform than those that form the arch on the Elterwater bridge. The Elterwater bridge looks more decorative to me than the original bridge.

The original bridge has a very even "inner" arch.  On the Elterwater bridge, the "inner" arch has stone of random lengths.

By "inner" arch, I mean the lower course of stones. :)

EDIT: I see jennywren001 has just said the same thing. :)
