A1 (now downgraded, due to the 'new' A1)

Looking down at 'Hartleys Bridge', which carried the Great North Road, over the River Aire, at Ferrybridge

I was following the old route of the pre-170 Tadcaster - Ferrybridge TurnPike (where it joined the 'Great North Road')
Here, it's still the Old London Road

'Stanley Ferry Trash Screen Bridge'
Spanning the River Calder
The concrete structure (down-stream) is the 2nd Aquaduct here - #1 is Grade 1 listed (just visible, to extreme right of frame)

Normal river levels are 12-15 foot below this bridge, but in flood the river will back-up at the aquaduct & rise above the railings, filling this deck with flotsam
As seen here, on Saturday 26th December 2015 (the same day Tadcaster Bridge partially collapsed)
