Bridge Ruins near Great Mitton, Lancashire, 30.8.18.If the bridge brings to mind the sweeping arches of Rivendell then you may well be right. J.R.R. Tolkien spent time at the nearby Stonyhurst College and it is whilst he was there that he wrote some of his most memorable chapters of ‘The Lord of the Rings’. The striking ruinous architecture of the region but specifically this structure may well have played into the consciousness of Tolkien as he frequently walked the countryside here. -- source link
