MILKING BRIDGE is a very narrow stone footbridge of one arch in a dell at the lower end of the Colden Valley. According to W. B. Crump it was the subject of two drawings by J. Horner.
Taken from Hell Hole rocks below Heptonstall, the Ragley road, from Mytholm to Jack Bridge, can be seen on the left; the chimney of Lumb Mill is in the bottom of the valley, with Lumb Bank, a former home of Ted Hughes, to the right.
