Dinckley Footbridge

Dinckley Footbridge, Ribble Valley, Lancashire.

Dinckley is a small village and civil parish located in the Ribble Valley, in Lancashire, England.

The parish is situated on the south side of the River Ribble, 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Blackburn. The northern boundary of the parish is formed by the River Ribble, and the eastern boundary by Park Brook and Dinckley Brook.

The Dinckley bridge carries a footpath across the River Ribble at Dinckley near the village of Hurst Green, in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire.

The Dinckley Ferry was a rowing boat which crossed the river connecting the village to Hurst Green. The ferry was replaced by a suspension bridge in the 1950s.

The new Dinckley footbridge re-opened in 2019, four years after it was damaged by storm Frank, due to flood damage in December 2015. The Plaque pictured above and close to the bridge commemorates the opening of the original Dinckley suspension bridge in 1951.
