A metal bridge over something which looks like it goes into a tunnel. Or a swing bridge?

I thought it was a water wheel, the picture being taken of the inside spokes. Could Wendy walk to County Brook Mill in 30 minutes?

I'll go with those saying it's a water wheel. I'd thought it was a bridge but it was only when Gloria posted water wheel that suddenly it all made sense. :smile:

She would struggle to get to County Brook, in fact I'd give myself 45 minutes at least to get to this place.... :laugh5:

It popped out at the last minute, It's the inside of the water wheel at Lothersdale Mill. See THIS for a potted history.
Well done Tiz! The dark house pipped the favourite! (But I still think she knew....)
Next one?

Whilst you were all working your way towards Lothersdale Mill we were out for a walk in a different direction (with a short car journey first). Apologies for another local one but can anyone pinpoint the spot where I took this photo? Click on photo to turn it the right way up!

Sorry Wendy, I didn't realise that you took so much notice of me! It kept them amused though didn't it.
I think I know where it is, if I am right a very old track.....
