Full Description
Goyt Packhorse Bridge: SK 014749. Goyt's Packhorse Bridge spans 12 ft (4m) over Wildmoorstone Brook; the width between the parapets is 4 ft (1.3m) (2).
The stone bridge is probably early 19th century and comprises one span with segmental arch and plain parapets. It is listed as Grade 3. (3).
This bridge appears to be the Hartington bridge which was described as "a stone bridge for horses" in 1708. (3,6,7).
A reconstructed 17th century packhorse bridge is at SK 0130 7325. It originally stood at SK 0142 7496 and was moved in August 1965 during the construction of a reservoir. (4).
A single span, narrow packhorse bridge, with a plain round arch. This bridge, of probably, 17th or 18th century date, was rebuilt here in the 1960s when its original site at Goytsbridge was flooded under Errwood Resevoir (8). (9).
According to the map, the bridge is now a footbridge. (10).
