360. Including Ribblehead Viaduct & the Double-Arched Bridge

Sally and I have made several noteworthy visits recently and wanted to share them with you. These include an intriguing bridge over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal; a beautifully restored railway station; and a steam tour crossing a magnificent railway viaduct.

    Hi Alan & Sally , Loved the vlog. Very interesting double bridge over the canal. It does look like it was built at the same time to me. Other than the top bit that does look newer. Absolutely loved the viaduct, great footage with the drone too. The station was lovely. The buildings have been beautifully maintained. Thanks Alan, have a good week xx

    Hi Alan and Sally, Four very interesting topics at locations I have been to often. I was told that the double arched bridge was originally a pack horse bridge but when the canal arrived it was built so that canal boats could pass under it. Then, as motor vehicles became the main form of transport, the bridge was highered once again to carry the main road as it is today. To look at it, it doesn't appear to be different building styles as it is all built in rough stone. In any case, it is still regarded as one of the wonders of the canal world. Thanks for the vlog.

    10 ай бұрын

    That's very kind of you to say, thank you. There does seem to be uncertainty about the full history of the bridge, I referred to its heritage listing in my narrative. Building two arches would of course have saved a lot of stonework but it does have the look of having been raised, so possibly shortly after it was built. Cheers, thanks for watching and commenting.

    Lovely. Somebody has labelled the benches Settle Up and Settle Down. These are not just a corny puns but statements of fact: the up line at all British stations is the line you take take to go to London and vice versa.
