Title
Baitings Bridge - TWA00200
Description
The old stone bridge here was submerged by the Wakefield Corporation Reservoir which was completed in 1956. At the West Riding Quarter Sessions in Pontefract in 1787 a gratuity of £50 was granted towards the bridge and in 1792 it was granted a further £24, the ‘township having built and complied with orders.’ The modern concrete viaduct, which carried much tourist traffic, cost almost £50,000 and has seven spans, each 50 feet wide.
