Description
Clapper Bridge, dated 1742 and 1777, is located in Baslow and Bubnell. It consists of two monolithic gritstone slabs that are 3 metres long, 600 millimetres wide, and 250 millimetres deep. These slabs are set upon coursed rubble stone linings and span the Bar Brook. Slab bridges like this are relatively rare and represent some of the most primitive masonry bridge structures, often dating back to ancient times. The bridge is situated near several Scheduled Ancient Monument sites in the surrounding moorland of Big Moor and Ramsey Moor, and it is part of the packhorse route system that connects areas such as Tideswell, Chesterfield, Sheffield, and Dronfield.
