The temporary "Bailey" bridge installed by Cumbria County Council to replace the original stone built one that was destroyed by flooding in December 2015. Image captured from "Granny Dowbenkin's Tea Room / Garden - a favourite place that we have been unable to visit whilst the bridge was down. During this period some wag amended the village sign with tape, by covering the Bridge in Pooley Bridge. I hope that the permanent replacement is done properly ... the beautiful original was listed.

The stone arches of the bridge at Pooley Bridge. This was erected in 1764 {replacing an earlier bridge from the 16th century}. It was washed away on 5th/6th December 2015 when Cumbria was hit by heavy flooding during Storm Desmond, after storm waters scoured the riverbed from around & under the bridge piers.

The 1794 stone built bridge at Pooley Bridge. Beautiful, arched symmetry. Carries the B5320 across the river. . (Scan of friend's image)

Evidence of the River Tyne spates during December 2015 at Haydon Bridge. Looking downstream from the old A69 bridge. Bank erosion and cobble bed depositions have shuffled the main water flow routes. The houses on the far bank have been flooded, without a closer examination, it is not clear if the recent improvements to the berm / levee were sufficient, or if it was over-topped / damaged by the stormwaters during December 2015

That subway under the old A69 bridge was flooded, will try to determine the depth on a future visit. That fence is more substantial than it looks, as it was intended to prevent most vehicles ending up in the river.

Evidence of the River Tyne spates during December 2015 at Haydon Bridge. Looking at the oldest bridge. Water level is still very high, and the remains of that tree were in the process of shifting slightly - but it would need only a little more water to lift it over the low flow training wall.

Looking at the upstream side of the oldest bridge (built in 1773 to replace one destroyed a couple of years before by floodwaters) The River South Tyne is still in spate [higher than normal flow rate] and some evidence of debris, the most recent full spate being after Storm Frank at the end of December 2015.
