Cheers Mr T, Many a time in the Shakespeare at Shardlow we bemoaned the endless delay in rebuilding the bridge. Sadly my mate passed away before the Fathorse was completed.
= ( I had an old school freind pass before we could rewalk the tow path , I took a conker that was growing in a pot out to the bridge and planted it on the Sawley side to remember him by seemed like the thing to do . Now theres always a bit of him there for me . Next time down I will plant on on the Shardlow side for you .
Fathorse Bridge was named after a towpath pub crawl when a local came in to the pub at Trent Lock and in the middle of some locals talking about the replacment bridge said " I nearly got hit on that new bridge by a Fathorse " Its now called Fathorse Bridge . Long Horse Bridge went 2003 .
Thanks so much for sharing, i can recall alot of these places from my childhood. great memories too
