Stanley Appleyard’s annotated photo of Beeley Wood footbridge. Page follows initial investigation of the image location followed by research into the name of the bridge.
This image
Image scanned from one of Stanley Appleyard’s albums. Image is very similar to image immediately below. The image is dated 1908 and tagged “Span Bridge – Beeley Wood” but I can find no other references to “Span Bridge” in connection with Beeley Wood. However, the names that appear in other sources include “Killicrankies” and (incorrectly) “Rocher”. Images of the “Span Bridge” follow, together with image sources, links and attributions.
