”Haugh Bridge, Water Lane” is written on the back of this card, but we don’t think it is.  Could it be the footbridge at the bottom of Slater’s Banks, taken from the field?  The ’Private Wood’ was felled and cleared round about 1970 and has since regrown.

The waterfall doesn’t look like we see it now, the caption says Loftus waterfall but it must have been before it was built of brick.
Derek Pearson says: ”I believed it to be the one we used to call the “Steps” in the “Narrows” before it was constructed with brick/concrete. It looks right and also the photograph is taken from a lower standpoint again than the scene in front. I don’t believe Espiners decended with that many levels.”
Thanks to Derick Pearson for the update.
