Quicksand Pool Bridge
Originally built by the Ulverstone and Lancaster Railway and opened in 1857, the bridge was reconstructed in 1932 by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. Unusually the bridge was identified with two names. The left span of 24ft. 11in. over Quicksand Pool Drain was Quicksand Pool Bridge and the right span of 13ft. 4in. over the track was Quaker’s Stang Bridge, although the whole structure had the bridge number 5. It is possible that the 1932 rebuilding may have accounted for the naming anomaly. Now the whole structure is referred to as Quicksand Pool Bridge and carries the national identifcation number of CBC1/5 (Carnforth-Barrow-Carlisle section 1 bridge number 5).
Quicksand Pool is an artificial channel that drains Leighton Moss, an extensive reed bed and a Royal Society for the Protection of Birds reserve.
The track under the right span of the bridge gives access to an RSPB car park and it is also the England Coast Path.
