Description
LUDDENDEN BRIDGE in Luddenden Village is mentioned in the will of Richard Stanclyffe of Halifax who in 1518 bequeathed “to the byldyng of Luddenden brige Xli (£10) if so be they take upon hand to bilde the brigge of stone.” This bridge and the preceding one appear on Christopher Saxton’s map of 1599 made in connection with the Wade and Foxcroft lawsuit. In the Bridges Book of 1752 it is recorded as repairable by “Luddenden Town.” A pole for repairing the bridge in 1769 cost 4 shillings.
