Clapper bridge at Brookfoot: end view
Most clapper bridges (simple spans of stone slabs) are quite ancient, but this one is thought only to date from the 17th century, probably reconstructed c1845. The bridge spans the Oil Mill Beck and is grade 2 listed (list entry 1119686). The steel handrail is obviously a modern addition. See also
