Reputedly 17th century the single lane bridge spans the River Derwent and could have been the eastern access to Eyam village carrying the fateful goods that bore the plague there. The village houses of earlier times, such as Bridge Foot Cottage seen here, were built of the local gritstone for employees of the Duke of Rutland's estate. Nowadays it is smart and pretty commuterland.
