Today's CDPB theme is "Bridges".
We don't have any big or spectacular bridges in Hyde. Those that have appeared here previously include the railway viaduct at Godley; the railway bridge on Great Norbury Street complete with a pigeon and with a yellow flower; footbridges over the M67 and over the canal at Raglan Street; the bridge taking the disused railway line over Brookfold Lane, looking up and looking down.
Perhaps the most unusual ones are the roving bridges over the Peak Forest Canal. One is on Manchester Road; the other is known as Captain Clarke's Bridge.
Here is another picture of the latter showing the path as it curves back round to the towpath on the opposite bank.

I have the same bridge on today Gerald taken by Big Peter.. it is in B&W.
Didn't realise it was a specail 'Bridge' posting day.
It look like a beautiful old stone bridge.
What is ordinary to some is unusual and interesting to others. We don't see bridges like these where I live so I'm enjoying the pictures.
Lovely old bridge! Are those stone stops meant for horses?
Extra special stone work! Must be way past your bedtime yet you are working for us on CDP, all the best!
Love this twisty turny bridge!
I'm with dot on this one :) I think this picture is such an interesting one. The angle on this shot is unusual and brilliant.
I like old wom tigley's shot as well!
Your perspective on this photo is especially good. You managed to show the bridge and the path.
this curvy stone bridge is nice!
Happy Theme Day!
Great photo! I like the spiraling effect! Happy Theme Day!
Lovely choice for the theme. BTW, would you kindly explain what the reasoning behind this permalink thing you do is?
I remember this photo from a previous posting and love it still. Good choice!
Great bridge. It's the first stone bridge I've seen on this tour.
Oh, my! This is not only a bridge, but a clever work of art. I had to stare at it for a while enjoying its finesse.
What an amazing, amazing bridge. Makes me want to buy my ticket right now!
This is so beautiful. Great shot, Gerald. Love this bridge.
A very cute photo. I do like it.
Happy theme day!
Wow, I had to look at this one very carefully to see the path. It is gorgeous!
this is so nice!
Ahoy me hearties! I like the way there is no water involved in the captain's bridge. Nice shot
I must go and visit that bridge when I am in England next may,
because I collect bridges and will add it to my collection.
Oh, I will leave the bridge there and just take a photograph or two, A bridge of that size may be more than my baggage allowance with Zoom Airlines
That is really neat and bends my eyes as they try to figure out what kind of structure this is. Nice post.
Nice capture of the spiral.
This bridge as many memories for me Gerald, I have used it many many times. I would walk this way to school in my teens, I have walked it hand in hand when courting, I have fished from and by it. I have even jumped the canal there where it is narrow. One of the many great little bridges of this area.
these are my favourite bridges
'Roving' bridges. That's a new one for me.
Thanks for doing the permalinks again - much appreciated as always! I didn't get to register with the group this time, but I linked to this page of yours on my post of the day (Villigen bridge).
Very scenic spiral bridge.
Nice shot, I like the way you framed it.
I think this is the best bridge I have seen. Great shot....beautiful, just beautiful.
Great looking bridge, a really interesting design.
SSDP
But it is a very SPECIAL bridge.
Natural stone arch support, very impressive engineering and a great capture for the theme.
Twin Cities Daily Photo
well your bridges may not be big but they certainly are beautiful, this old curving structure is just stunning! BTW you asked in one of your comments today to someone (can't remember where i saw it) if other people are getting funny pop-ups asking if you want to open or save when you click on a photo, I have also been getting them!
Oh Gerald, a roving bridge. . .that is such a great name for this. It's absolutely charming and I wish I could explore it right now. Gives such a flavor of Hyde for us. Kudos!

Oh, Gerald! I just love this bridge and the photo. Maybe it should be in your Top Ten!!
I think this is a very cool old bridge. Thanks for the links, I had no idea what a roving bridge was, I had to read up on it. Very neat.
That's a beautiful bridge. Do you use it often?
joy

It's difficult to spot a bridghe that makes a difference today Gerald, but I certainly like this one!
from South Shields Daily Photo
This is a lovely bridge with it's curved design, and the lush foilage around it. Thank you for the work you are doing on the Bridge links.
What a beautifully romantic little bridge!
This is a very beautiful old bridge. So original. I like it a lot.
Good use of perspective. A long and winding road.
I think we're all becoming bridge enginering experts today. This is pretty special!
Thanks for visiting me in hospital! I feel better already :-)
I'm not sure what they might think about cameras here....if they knew!!! Well, it's fairly normal in the maternity and paedeatric wards any way. I think as long as you ask, people don't mind. (or do as I did and wait til everyone's gone)
That is a very strange looking bridge! You have made it look very outstanding!
P.S. Check this out...You know what I mean :) Is it better now?
Thanks for advise!
I think this is a pretty spectacular bridge, and a pretty spectacular photo. :)

WOW! That's one heck of a bridge and a cool shot too! I like it a lot.
You used to be able to give blogger direct feedback but Hyde, do you know how to do that now? I'd like to give them a piece of my mind!
Hi from Albuquerque Daily Photo! I think this is a beautiful old stone bridge! The perspective makes me dizzy!
If I had to vote for a favorite this would be it!
It may to be huge but it is certainly magnificent. Very nice.
You are my hero on theme day.
I like this one.
Wow, a snail bridge!
Thaks for your visit to Sesimbra.
This curvy path is just perfect. And the place you chose to shoot and the framing are excellent. Thxs.
wonderful fairy-tales atmosphere! I like this photo!
Thank you for this other view of a spectacular bridge, Gerald. I’ve enjoyed browsing through your recent posts. The Ring and Ride is an interesting service.
Believe me, this bridge IS spectacular!
nice circular bridge - is it your last post really ?
Thanks to everyone for their lovely comments - no Brussels not my last post, just my last update to this one. I won't be adding any late bridge posts to the list of links above. Yours was the last link.
I like the curve and the cobblestones.
This is quite the bridge. Quite a wonderful stone structure!
Beautiful photo for theme day.
Nice perspective ... great way to capture this interesting bridge.
this is beautiful and fascinating. much better than other bridges.
