Description: | The newspaper cutting read; The 300 year cottage, Ewden Valley, which is to be removed shortly, together with the Pack Horse Bridge.Both are to make way for Sheffield's new dams.The bridge is to be rebuilt in Glen Howe Recreation Ground. The bridge was an old Packhorse Bridge and there was a Corn Mill on the stream, hence the bridge was known as Mill Bridge. The position where Mill Bridge stood is now submerged beneath the water of Morehall Dam.When the dam was made, a new bridge was erected higher upstream at the head of the reservoir, now called New Mill Bridge. As the old bridge was considered to be of historical interest, it was preserved, it was dismantled and re-erected in Glen Howe Park at Wharncliffe Side.For more information, see "Crossin' O'er", by S.
