Clam Bridge and Ford over Wycoller Beck The Clam bridge is a single gritstone slab laid across the beck with small holes on one side showing the former position of handrail supports. The bridge is believed to be more than 1000 years old and is a scheduled Ancient Monument. On may 19th 1989 there was a cloud burst on Haworth Moor and Boulsworth Hill above Wycoller and in the resulting flash flood the stone slab was swept from its foundations and cracked in two. The bridge was repaired and put back into position, only to be swept away and broken again in a further flood in August 1990. It was restored and replaced in June 1991.  <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/environment/countryside/sites/wbridges.asp" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/environment/countryside/sites/wbridges.asp">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> (Lancashire County Council)

Panopticons (2003-7) was a creative project to erect a series of 21st century landmarks across  East Lancashire to symbolise the renaissance of the area.

“Atom”, the Panopticon chosen for Pendle was designed by Peter Meacock and Katrina Novomestska. It is constructed in ferro-cement with a surface coating of metal-based paint.

It is intended to be an intriguing and beautiful object which will not only enhance the landscape as but also act as a viewing point and a shelter. It is sited on the hill above Wycoller.
