SD7539 : Fiddle Bridge
near to Pendleton, Lancashire, Great Britain

Fiddle Bridge
Pendleton Brook was once crossed by several clapper bridges which consisted of very long stone flags laid from the banks to the central stone support with an iron handrail on either side. One of these, Fiddle Bridge, so called because it is shaped like the musical instrument was removed in c1906 to nearby Standen Hall while the road was altered. On the initiative of Pendleton Women’s Institute the bridge was returned to the village in 2000 and placed on this patch of grass. A plaque records this.
