River Derwent Crossings Brigham/Broughton

RE: RE: River Derwent Crossings Brigham/Broughton

The recent damage to bridges across the Derwent prompted me to look up older crossings between Brigham & Broughton. Does anyone know more about the subject?
There used to be a crossing at the bottom of Stoneybeck lonning in Brigham which was a ferry. People would haul themselves across the river using the ropes slung between the two banks. The bank on the Brigham side was/is locally known as "Sandair". It was where the children from Brigham school would be taken to bathe. On the bank was a stout wooden post with a metal wheel still attached that was the remains of the ferry equipment. It was still there in the 1950's & 1960's.
Apparently the ferry was removed in the 1940's after people drowned while trying to cross to Broughton late at night.
It was thought that they had come from Workington, either on the train to Broughton Cross station, or bus to the top of Stoneybeck lonning. Their cries for help were heard on the Brigham side by the residents of Stoneybeck cottages & Ladywath cottages by Brigham school, but it wasn't realised that the cries were serious. They were probably heard in Broughton too.
That crossing is shown on a map from 1869 but doesn't show whether it is a ferry or footbridge. It is shown as reaching what is now "Oldbridge" in Broughton.
Further up stream there is/was the remains of an old stone bridge of which only a stone pylon remains on the Broughton side. People would dive from it into the river.
Again further upstream, there is another old map (I couldn't find a date for it) which shows an "old tramline" running from Brigham quarries across Broughton bridge then turning left up what may now be Harris Brow, but is called on the map "Chestnut Hill"
