My guess is that the horse & rider might be wise not to venture there at this moment, as the deluge must be sweeping down all the Cumbrian rivers. I suppose the bridge itself may be at risk. Anyway a lovely image of more peaceful times.

The bridges are sturdily built in those parts. They need to be! But that's no reason for complacency, in the light of recent events. A look at 'Realtimetrains' reveals that train services on the Cumbrian Coast are running normally.

The stonework is certainly showing the erosion that a strong tide and river will create. HFF

After about a century of inclement Cumbrian weather, and I too would be quite eroded! HFF
