The rebuilt Middleton Hall Bridge

The bridge carries the A683 over what is normally a minor beck SD6287 : The Middleton Hall Beck. But it was damaged by 'Storm Desmond' in December 2015 and after a few years of a temporary bridge, this permanent replacement opened on 2 August 2019. It cost £550,000 and is constructed from pre-cast concrete, with rock armour on the bank of the stream to protect the bridge from future scouring. Source: Link

Middleton Hall Beck

Normally a minor beck but as flash flood in 'Storm Desmond' in December 2015 was enough to destroy the road bridge which has since been rebuilt SD6287 : The rebuilt Middleton Hall Bridge.

Former railway bridge over the A683 at Middleton

The railway was the LMS route one between the 'Little North Western' line at Clapham and their main line to Scotland at Lowgill, via Ingleton. There was a station at Middleton a few hundred metres to the north (left) of this bridge. It last saw regular trains in 1954 and the track was lifted in 1967. SD6288 : Ex-LNWR Railway Bridge is a view from the other side the previous year.

River Lune Ford

This is another old impassable ford on the River Lune at Hawkin Hall. The lady at the farm advised us that people on both horseback and on motorcycles have attempted crossings but the base has long since been washed away and they have found it very difficult.

A Roman milestone which had collapsed has been moved and re-erected in the churchyard just behind the camera. My attempt to photograph the milestone, on a rather dull day, was so much less successful than others already on site that I have not submitted it.
