Looking upstream from Pilkington Way towards Radcliffe Bridge. The first bridge across the Irwell, at this site, was probably erected during the late Mediæval period at the site of a ford where, the Manchester to Blackburn packhorse route (now Blackburn Street) passed through the hamlet which became known as Radcliffe Bridge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Radcliffe_Bridge.jpg - The first known photograph of Radcliffe Bridge, taken around 1854.
