Description:This wooden bridge carried the double line of a tramway over the River Churnet, Caldon Canal and Churnet Valley Railway. It was used to carry stone from Kingsley Banks to the canal wharf. In the background can be seen the Flint Mill.

The Woodhead Colliery Company began mining ironstone at Kingsley, Checkley and Ipstones in 1854. Mining here had ceased by the late 1880s.
