More about this scene
The packhorse bridge over the Kinder River just outside Hayfield is also known locally as the Roman Bridge, but there is no evidence that Roman legionaries used it. It is much more likely to be a 17th- or 18th-century packhorse bridge, used by the 'jaggers' who carried goods by packhorse trains long before the days of metalled roads.

My parents were friends of the people who owned and built Park Hall swimming pool and we 4 children all learned to swim there in the icy water. It was always a private pool but became open to members who paid a fee to join.I remember it so well - we used to go there direct from school all summer and in the holidays and it is one of my many ...see more
I can remember swimming here as a child. It was very beautiful and tranquil. It was also unique. I have tried to explain to my daughter what it was like and found your picture on the web site. It is sad also to see photos of it in a disused state. There will never be such a nice place near us like this one. Can anyone tell us the history of this place and who owned it? I learned to swim with my dad in the junior ...see more
