Dist:0.3km<br/>A scruffy area of old mines and untidy farmland just outside Lindal. The old bridge looks like it may have carried a railway perhaps connected with the disused Iron Mines all over the area. The 1940 OS map does not show a railway however.

Dist:0.9km<br/>A K6 type telephone box near Loppersgarth. In 1935, the Post Office commissioned a new kiosk from Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to celebrate the Jubilee of King George V. The K6 Jubilee Kiosk, as it is known, was similar to the K2 box, being made of cast iron and painted red but was 25% lighter in weight. By the end of the 1930s there were 20,000 K6 telephone boxes in use all over the UK.
