The present bridge (or at least part of it) was built in 1800 at a cost of £500 after the previous bridge had collapsed.

It was widened in 1930 on the Brabyns side.

More information about this and other bridges in the area can be found in ' Bridges, Highways & Turnpikes around Marple' published by Marple Local History Society.
