In 1884, following the drowning of a local man while trying to cross the stepping stones on the River Wharfe below Hebden, a committee was formed with the intention of building a footbridge. A great storm the previous year had also destroyed Burnsall Bridge down stream causing the villagers great problems.
The new bridge was designed as a suspension bridge and was built by the village blacksmith, William Bell. 262 yards of redundant steel rope was bought for it from the Hebden Moor Mining Company. Funding for the bridge was raised through public subscription and a grand opening was held in 1885 with a brass band and a public tea.
River wharf Story : Inspired by a paintings by Claud Monet and impressionism . Monet used to have a boat studio floating on river seine .He painted river seine a few times at different times of the day . This is the reflection of the greens around a river at morning in July 2019 . I stayed in Wetherby Yorkshire and used to go for walks near river wharf Reflections of trees in water interest me . My favourite part of the painting is the trees right at the back in blueish hue where the water meets the trees .Almost want a house boat to linger in that part of the river to feel the calm . Currently hangs in our living room This is a 40*40 inch canvas Looks beautiful and has a wooden edge covered in gold leaf . #wetherby #york #leeds #harrogate #riverwharfe #yorkshire #englishrivers #uk #england #usa #cali #love #nature #countryliving #countryside #artoninstagram #landscapepainting (at Wetherby) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7uSMcnzVO/?igshid=1o4lot3cuf0k7

One of the most amazing rivers, from above. I am closed to obsessed with the River Wharfe, in particular the local stretch bypasses our village Burley In Wharfedale. The life, its history, the stories, its future. #river #bytheriver #Wharfedale #WalkingPhotographer #SeeThingsDifferent #madeinyorkshire #godsowncounty #goldenhour #Yorkshire #Chasingthelight #DJI #DronePhotography #Drone #UK #visitbritain #englishcountryside #wonderfulplaces #DJIMavic #BirdsEyeView #RiverWharfe (at Burley In Wharfedale, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmxVSWzg8li/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ebjhj032ke0g
