Yarrow Bridge

Yarrow Bridge

Yarrow Bridge is a small road bridge which crosses the River Yarrow in Chorley, Lancashire. The bridge carries the A6 road over the river. There is also a pub and Garage next door to bridge which carries the same name.

The bridge has existed since the late 17th century when the road leading to Bolton (A6) was put east away from Duxbury Woods. Before this a previous road bridge existed with its foundations still remaining within the woodland.

The bridge is also at the point were the River Yarrow and the Black Brook meet.
