The Caul’Pool Brig By Margaret Copeland
The Caul’ Pool Brig was built to carry the railway over the Liddle and as the name suggests. There was a cauld here. It was a place much photographed. For many years a favourite walk was to go down the path on the south side of the Holm Brig, proceed down the riverside to the Caul’Pool Brig cross over the bridge – watching for the trains of course – and return to the village by Mangerton Loaning and Tweeden. It was a lovely spot for a picnic too. Flood damage has taken away all this land and the bridge was demolished in 1985/86. The workmen discovered a very skilful and complicated method of construction and found it difficult to demolish.
