Looking over MY Raven's bow as she backs away from the pier at Pooley Bridge. The seats here are remarkably comfortable and give good views ... The winter storms over the past decade or so have not been kind to the pier, nor the booking office. I gather that there will be some work done this year.

The stone arches of the bridge at Pooley Bridge. This was erected in 1764 {replacing an earlier bridge from the 16th century}. It was washed away on 6 December 2015 when Cumbria was hit by heavy flooding during Storm Desmond, after storm waters scoured the riverbed from around & under the bridge piers.

As seen in late December 2015, following the destruction wrought by Storm Desmond. Unfortunately, Pooley wasn't the only place to lose their Bridge, either completely (as here) or to the severe damage wrought by spates of floodwater.

The 1794 stone built bridge at Pooley Bridge. Beautiful, arched symmetry. Carries the B5320 across the river. . (Scan of friend's image)

The temporary "Bailey" bridge installed by Cumbria County Council to replace the original stone built one that was destroyed by flooding in December 2015. Image captured from "Granny Dowbenkin's Tea Room / Garden - a favourite place that we have been unable to visit whilst the bridge was down. During this period some wag amended the village sign with tape, by covering the Bridge in Pooley Bridge. I hope that the permanent replacement is done properly ... the beautiful original was listed.
