A clue  |
|
| FredHerrin |
I know exactly where this is. It is a water pipe crossing Holden Beck near Far Ghyll Grange Farm. There was a stone bridge here many years ago known to the locals as Lumb Bridge. The bridge was lost in a flood and is now replaced With a simple concrete thing. Lumb Bridge was a favourite pic nic place generations ago. Photographs of this place in those days still exist. |

Lumb bridge? |
|
| midway |
Yes spot on, Holden Beck.The original stone bridge was swept away in a cloud burst in 1900. So the question is Peter, have you got a photograph of Lumb bridge to show us ( Please ) |

A dried up beck, where is it, and why no water?   |
|
| dogcatcher |
is it up bolton road and the tunnel goes under the road. |
|
| midway |
Correct with the location, but why is it now dry? |
|
| Peter |
quoteCorrect with the location, but why is it now dry? I think this 1938 map provides the answer  The tannery needed water and the Silsden U.D. Council Water Works provided it. |

| midway |
That's another mystery solved, Thank you, Peter. |
