Barden Tower and Bridge

[Ryewolf]

Barden Tower: It was a hunting lodge since early Plantagenet times, it was rebuilt in stone c.1485–1490 by Henry Clifford. The tower was renovated and rebuilt by Lady Anne Clifford in the 1650s.

Barden Bridge is a three-arched humpbacked bridge across the River Wharfe north of Bolton Abbey and was erected in 1659, it was rebuilt in 1676. The parapets had to be renewed in 1856 and again in 1956 after flood damage.

Really good mono conversions and a bit of history too.  What's not to like?

Thanks Gareth.

The first bridge shot does it for me - a great sky and the angle at which you've framed the bridge is spot on.

At the risk of becoming known as Sir Dobalot, the silver birch trunk under the middle arch would be better made invisible. IMHO!

You can't beat the curves and textures of an old stone bridge. Nice mono conversion.

Thanks Monomania.
