There was celebrations and sunshine today at Pooley Bridge as the Bishop of Penrith opened a new temporary bridge that replaced the iconic old stone bridge that was washed away by Storm Desmond.

Pooley Bridge was an historic stone road bridge that crossed the River Eamont at the village of the same name near the northern end of Ullswater. It connected two civil parishes, Barton and Dacre, and was grade II listed in January 1991.

The bridge, erected in 1764 and replacing an earlier bridge from the 16th century,collapsed on 6 December 2015 when Cumbria was hit by heavy flooding as a result of Storm Desmond.
