The Bridge

A small bridge over Hebden Beck on a walk from Hebden to Yarnbury in the Yorkshire Dales.
The route passes through some of the old lead mining area with interesting relics to see. The Grassington area has been a centre for lead mining.
Maximum prosperity arrived between 1821 and 1861 then a steady decline set in, as the mines became exhausted and foreign imports grew. The last activity, to recover ore from spoil heaps, ended in 1963
