All Is Revealed

Normally submerged by 5m of water, this old bridge has made a rare appearance due to the extremely low water level in Baitings Reservoir.

At the West Riding Quarter Sessions in Pontefract in 1787 a gratuity of £50 was granted towards the bridge and in 1792 it was granted a further £24.

It was submerged when the reservoir was completed in 1956 and the new modern bridge opened..
It's surprising what else is revealed when the water level drops (see extra).
