A new bridge over Birker Beck I think the previous bridge (see: <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4455179)" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4455179)">Link</a> was probably damaged by floods. Curiously the beck, referred to in some other geographs as Stanley Ghyll Beck, is named on the OS 1:50k map, but not on the 1:25k map.
