SCAMMONDEN

View of bridge from the South East.

'Scammonden' was a village close to Huddersfield, in the Colne Valley, England, before it was flooded in the 1960s to create the Scammonden Reservoir. The M62 motorway crosses the dam wall and then passes through a cutting to the west over which Scammonden Bridge carries a B-road. This bridge, when built was the longest single span bridge in the world. The bridge cost 13.8 million
The Chapel of St Barthelomew still exists, as does the old vicarage, now a boat club.
