A forgotten bridge

This image shows the old bridge connecting Preston to Penwortham.  The modern, multi-laned bridge is just a short way downriver  from here, and carries hundreds of cars every day whereas this old bridge is now pedestrianised and carries only people, cyclists and a few prams.

In its heyday this was a vital link across the River Ribble, but now most people driving by on the new link don't even know it is there.
