Plank bridge over Little Dale Beck Not needed on this summer day, and has been subsequently replaced by a permanent footbridge a little upstream. The ex-signalman's house is visible on the right, currently (2023) on sale for a reduced £200,000, with a caveat of needing full refurbishment and, unsurprisingly, has no mains services.
