Winterscales Farm Pipe Bridge

November 2011

Work was completed on this project replacing several small, easily blocked pipes with one large culvert enabling migratory fish and eels to pass upstream, rejuvenating life above the existing pipe bridge and allowing the downstream movement of riverbed substrata.

Our thanks go to ART for funding the project, Mr. and Mrs. Grant for allowing us to carry out the work, Eden Stonework and Joe Sylva (arboriculturalist) for jobs well done and to the EA for their help and advice.

Winterscales Bridge is over Clough River in Garsdale, east of Sedbergh.  The photographs below show the bridge before (top) and after (below) the project.
