Today’s Flickr photo with the most hits, from the Tolkien Trail walk with Frances Taylor, shows the Cromwell Bridge, Hurst Green.
The bridge was built during the Tudor period but found fame in August 1648 in the English Civil War. During the war, Oliver Cromwell marched his army of more than 8,000 soldiers along with artillery over the bridge on his way to the battle of Preston. Despite being outnumbered, he defeated the combined army of English Royalists and Scots “Engagers” who marched south in support of King Charles I.
It was a packhorse bridge and has been out of use since the nearby Lower Hodder Bridge was built in the early 19th-century (the photo is taken from that bridge). The parapets of Cromwell’s Bridge were constructed very low from the start, to allow pack horses, loaded with panniers, to cross.
The bridge provides an attractive and romantic setting. The central arch has become quite popular with wedding photographers

There were three days last week when it didn’t rain all day (think about your syntax) — when it rained, but not all day! Otherwise there has been precipitation, all day, every day since the end of October. That is why this blog has been so quiet of late — incessant moaning about the rain when you have chosen to live in a temperate rain forest would be tedious. As wave after wave of…
