notes
Intially the archaeologists at the Peak District National Park Authority were unhappy about marking the old clapper bridge in Rowlow Dale. But the bridge was broken - down to just one channel - so with a bit of archaeological restoration the bridge was repaired with the inscription on the new slab.
