 Cromwell's Bridge

Also known as Devil's Bridge, the packhorse bridge across the Hodder was built by Sir Richard Shireburn in 1562, replacing a wooden bridge dating from at least 1331. Legend says that it was used by Oliver Cromwell during his march from Skipton to intercept the Royalists at the Battle of Preston in 1648. It is far more likely that he would have crossed the river at Higher Hodder Bridge.

Perhaps a little too contrasted, and it is a little tilted, but all in all, not bad.

Keith reckons a 6, apparently you're too tight to buy colour film!! Personally i'll give this a 7, though i shouldn't to get your score down!

Bridge looks broken due to the heavy lighted/shaded areas around the tressels

A very unusual bridge, and nicely realized
