More about this scene
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Cark was a busy mill town. The bridge here spans the River Eea, which powered the mill close by. In the 1780s the roads through Cark were minor tracks, and stepping stones were used to cross the beck. There are a number of bridges serving mill-workers' houses. Coaches crossing the Leven Sands used the roads around Cark, including the lane to Sand Gate.
