White geese on the Ryburn at Sowerby Bridge
I think these are geese rather than swans but I stand to be corrected.

Stirk Bridge over the River Ryburn
The English Heritage listing (grade II, entry 1134551) only describes it as a "mid-late 19th century" iron bridge, but a little online research finds that it was built c.1859 to replace the 17th century stone packhorse bridge on the road to Norland.
The bridge is seen here in low-flow conditions after a month of dry weather. It looks lovely now on a sunny day, but it would have been a different matter when it was just downstream of a dyeworks.
