Now and Then

This is Blake Dean, Hardcastle Crags, Hebden Bridge.
The blip is from the banks of Hebden Water and shows the foundation piers of the Trestle Bridge - which you can see in the old photograph.
The bridge was built of pitch pine and was 105 ft high and 700ft long. Its purpose was to carry a single track railway that transported men and materials who were building three new reservoirs on the moor.
It was demolished in 1912.
Press 'L' to see the bridge better, but there is another picture of it here.
