Summary
| Description |
English: Cherryeye Bridge and Frozen Canal One of the factors that killed the canal trade was their tendency to freeze in winter, immobilizing the narrowboats in ice. Cherryeye Bridge owes its odd shape to aesthetics, rather than any practical consideration. Its name may derive from the farm in the background, now called Riddings Farm but once called Cherry High Farm. It may also derive from the ironstone mine nearby, known both as Cherry High and Cherry Eye. It may also be derived from an eye condition suffered by the miners or the way they looked with red ore rubbed into their faces. |
