Inscription on Garstang Bridge
The bridge was built in the early 19C, and widened on the north-east side in the 20C. It has two segmental arches and central triangular cutwaters with pedestrian refuges above them. It seems that Lancashire bridges often have the name of the bridge inscribed on them. In this case the word 'Lancashire' before 'C.C.' has been lost, presumably when the bridge was widened.

Boundary inscription on Garstang Bridge
Barnacre with Bonds on the left (no doubt these were once separate townships, but were established as a joint civil parish in 1866); Garstang on the right. The photograph shows the central pedestrian refuge, built on top of the cutwater.

Water channel next to Garstang Bridge
This connects to the river, and presumably carries surface water. But why the penstock arrangement next to the bridge? The change in the river wall marks one end of the former weir for Garstang Mill (Corn), as shown on a map of 1893.

Cornmill Residential Nursing Home
In the 13th century there was a Fulling Mill on this site, processing cloth from the Cockersand Abbey Estate. This converted corn mill was unusual in having a horizontal wheel, housed in the basement. A public footpath runs through the arch.

Bonds Lane/Garstang Bridge
Looking along Bonds Lane, across Garstang Bridge.
Until 1926, when the first by-pass was built, this was the route of the main north to south road (the A6) which ran through the town and over the River Wyre at the stone bridge. It formed the 'Drove Road' for Highland Cattle being walked from Scotland to markets in the midlands and London.
