Photograph Notes: Ringley Old Bridge is an ancient stone bridge that crosses the River Irwell, linking Ringley with Stoneclough. It has two large semi-circular arches and a third smaller arch on the west bank, for the towpath. Triangular cutwaters between main arches are carried up to form refuges in the plain parapet. Now used only as a footbridge over the Irwell, Ringley Bridge was once an important crossing point on the packhorse route from Bolton. The bridge was built in 1677 to replace an earlier, wooden bridge that had been swept away by a flood in 1673. It is a Grade II* listed building (Historic England List Entry Number: 1356800 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1356800 ) and is scheduled as an ancient monument (List Entry Number: 1001957 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1001957 - see [[[6749509]]]). This cascade of poppies was created using old plastic bottles which were cut up, painted and suspended from the cutwater on the southern side of the bridge in the run-up to Remembrance Day 2021 (https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/19581613.poppy-bridge-bid-royal-british-legion/ The Bolton News).
