Description

The Old Bridge over the Hebden Water is a packhorse bridge dating from around 1510. It features plaques that record repairs made in 1600, 1602, and 1657. The parapet was repaired in 1845 and raised in 1890. The bridge is constructed from large dressed stone and has three segmental arches, with the voussoirs chamfered. There are two pointed breakwaters that rise to the full height of the parapet on the southwest side. The northeast side is similar, but one breakwater is capped off at keystone level where a wall meets it. The bridge has three inscribed date plaques that read: "REPAYRED: BY TH E.RIDINGE: BY ORD REPAIRED BY HELP OF ER: OF SESSIONS (B) Y GVST : 1657 RICHARD : NALER Y R.G.R.G. SESSIONS 1602 REPAIRED BY HELP OF JOHN : GREENMOOD SESSIONS 1600."

The land arch on the east bank originally served the tail-goit of Bridge Mill, which was once known as the XnnoriaJ Corn Mill. The bridge is also designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
