More about this scene
Once known as Salley, the abbey was founded as a Cistercian community in 1147, the first abbot and monks coming from Fountains Abbey. These two extravagant arches were later built using stones from the abbey ruins, but were too narrow to accommodate modern traffic. They were eventually demolished following accidents, but one has since been re-erected in an adjacent field.
