Title
Pack Saddle - EWW00147
Description
Packhorses were used to transport goods in the period up until the coming of the first turnpike roads and canals in the 18th century. In this area of the Pennines they carried wool to the hand-weaver, and then the finished pieces to market. This usage has left a legacy of packhorse routes across the area, and distinctive narrow and low sided stone arched packhorse bridges at various locations. For similar reasons, names such as The Packhorse are common public house names throughout England.
