The Stepping Stones by the (Replica) Inglis Bridge

 

Charles Edward Inglis designed the first dry gap prefabricated military bridge in service with any Army anywhere in the world - though this replica portable bridge near Preston is not quite so grand as most. Officially called the Inglis Portable Military Bridge – Light Type it was generally known as the Inglis Pyramid Bridge. It would be true to say though that most people visiting the small pleasant St Catherine's Park, Lostock Hall, prefer to traverse the  River Lostock across the stepping stones - because... well, why the hell not! 

This green parkland space located on the edge of the village is around four hectares in size and includes a natural play area, grass kick-about space and a network of footpaths. It is also home to aforementioned replica Inglis bridge which is located over the River Lostock adjacent to an existing ford. Music by Enya  - A Day Without Rain.
