HRS 3223 Pilsworth bleachworks bridge detail vert post 1970s

Little remains of this cast iron ornamental bridge that spans Whittle Brook near the communities of Hollins and Pilsworth, near Bury and Whitefield. The road led to the former bleachworks on the site, but could pre-date the bleachworks being part of an earlier road. The existing central part of the structure is brick suggesting the original lateral iron structure was attached to the sides to improve its appearance. It probably dates back to the beginning of the 19th century.
