More about this scene

The bridge carries the Padiham road over Sabden Brook into the village. Thought to have been used since the Bronze Age, the track through the valley was one of several routes followed by packhorse drivers, who carried goods across the moorland hills between Lancashire and Yorkshire. Many inns, like the White Hart (centre), originated to serve the passing trade.
