Spruisty bridge

Spruisty bridge was built in the 17th century, carried packhorse traffic between Knaresborough and Ripley. It wasn’t till the 18th century until other roads were constructed.

I used to play here as a kid with family and friends, fishing and family picnics on a sunny day. I remember when cars used to pass the bridge and wade through the water to the other side. This stopped in the late 90s and early 00’s.
