Spring Bridge Whitewell On 30th June 1906, the Spring Bridge at Whitewell collapsed. Two groups from Preston and Todmorden were enjoying a day out with a party of 34. Having just been photographed three of them went to bathe in the River Hodder.  The others collected on a footbridge about 35 yards long made of wood, supported by iron girders, and protected by railings.  Without any warning the bridge suddenly broke in at least two places, and fell into the water. The bridge was never replaced all that remains are the structures built to accommodate the bridge.
