EDITORS COMMENTS
Old Baslow Bridge: A Snippet of History Spanning the River Derwent in Derbyshire, England Nestled in the picturesque village of Baslow, in the heart of Derbyshire, England, stands Old Baslow Bridge, a historic structure that has stood the test of time for over four centuries. Built in 1603, this charming bridge spans the beautiful River Derwent and is a testament to the engineering prowess of the past. The bridge, a popular tourist attraction, is not only a marvel of transportation history but also a beautiful sight to behold. The bridge's archway, made of sandstone, frames the crystal-clear waters of the River Derwent, creating a serene and idyllic scene. The bridge's age is evident in the moss-covered stones and the worn-down edges, adding to its old-world charm. On the extreme right of the bridge, the Toll-House can be seen, one of the smallest in Britain. This quaint little building, which once served as a tollbooth, adds to the bridge's historical significance. The Toll-House is a reminder of the days when travelers had to pay a fee to cross the bridge, a common practice during the medieval period. Old Baslow Bridge is not just a bridge but a piece of history that transports us back in time. It is a reminder of the past, a testament to the ingenuity of the people who built it, and a beautiful addition to the landscape of Derbyshire. Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or simply someone looking for a peaceful retreat, Old Baslow Bridge is a must-visit destination.
