More about this scene
Known locally as Dinkley Bridge, this elegant suspension bridge across the River Ribble was opened on 10 October 1951. The crossing, however, is an ancient one, and at one time consisted of two hollowed-out logs pulled across by ropes. The photograph looks to the south bank, where a footpath follows the river downstream through Marles Wood to Salesbury Hall.
