Looking across the A506 dual carriageway, Valley Road, towards the much older sandstone Alder's Bridge. Both bridges are over the River Alt. Old maps up to 1891 show the road as Ingoe Lane, which then becomes Moor Lane on the 1908 map. By 1974 the lane had become a dual carriageway and the name was changed to Valley Road. The modern maps still show Alder's Bridge as carrying the cut off Moor Lane.
