Tales of a Tarmac Lane—Barn, Bend, and Blue Pipe A glimpse down a paved path leading to a leftward bend, featuring a stone barn sporting a slate roof, with its barn entrance sealed shut by corrugated steel. A conspicuous coil of blue water pipe leans nonchalently against the barn&amp;#039;s side wall.

Footbridge over the River Duddon There are stepping stones a short distance downstream (to the right), but nobody in their right minds would risk them when this bridge, constructed in 1934, is available. The stones are large and often sloping, and a slip could easily result in a broken ankle, or worse.

For the acknowledgement to the bridge builder, see &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4699873&quot;&gt;SD2296 : River Duddon footbridge plaque&lt;/a&gt;.

Postbox on Hall Bridge An unusual spot for a postbox, on a bridge over the River Duddon, but presumably convenient for local residents (and the postman!).
