This leads to a bridge, now only open to pedestrians, over the River Calder to Huntingdon Road. The bridge belonged the Blakeborough engineering firm, who dedicated it as a public footpath in 1962. This approach road on the Rastrick side has become overgrown and covered in litter and fly-tipping. The tree-lopping on the left is probably to do with the redevelopment of the adjoining land (too late to photograph the office block that was there!). I have since been informed, in August 2011, that the vegetation has now been cut back.
