Cromwell's Bridge.

Went for a walk today on the Tolkien Trail From Hurst Green. Tolkien was a tutor at the nearby Stoneyhurst College and it's thought that he got some of the ideas for his writing in the local area.
One of the features of the walk is "Cromwell's Bridge". It once carried a packhorse trail over the River Hodder, about a mile from its confluence with the Ribble. It earned its name after Oliver Cromwell's parliamentary army crossed the bridge on their way from Gisburn to where they fought the King's men in the Battle of Preston.
It's a walk I will go back to and share more images in the future.
