Description

Cromwell Bridge

The bridge is dated from 1561 - It earned its name after Oliver Cromwell's 8,000 strong parliamentary army crossed the bridge on their way from Gisburn to where they fought the King's men in the Battle of Preston in 1648.

The bridge looks too delicate to hold an army. I love the history you've added to this wonderful picture Sue.
