Rash Mill and chapel A grade II listed 18th century water-powered corn mill (left) with at right a Methodist chapel. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4500266">SD6589 : Rash Bridge</a> for a closer view of the mill. The chapel was closed, and from the amount of cobweb across the door I expect it had not been opened since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic some 17 months earlier.

Footbridge over the river Dee at Ellers This is the small river Dee in Cumbria, not the better known larger rivers of that name in Cheshire or Aberdeen. The bridge is close to Ellers Farm <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2674190">SD6788 : Ellers, lower Dentdale</a>, so I presume it was intended primarily for their use, but it is on a public footpath. Quite a long single span (c.15m) for a straight (not arched) wooden footbridge.
