Bridge at Blake Dean near Hebden Bridge - TWA00203
Description
BLAKE DEAN BRIDGE is a single-arch stone bridge. Just downstream from the present structure there used to be a wooden trestle bridge erected when the three Walshaw Dean reservoirs were being constructed. It was 700 feet long and 105 feet high, and was built by George Greenwood of Hebden Bridge. The Walshaw reservoir contractors began taking it down on August 14th, 1912 owing to the fact that that it was becoming insecure. Demolition took until the following November.
