Bridges in Yorkshire Sculpture Park

The bridge near Damien Hirst’s “Virgin Mother” at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, which I mentioned here, is called Dam Head Bridge. It spans the River Dearne:-

In the background here (right middle) is part of Bretton Lakes. Exhibits are scattered round the Park on either side of the Lakes:-

A bridge at this end of the Lakes is called Cascade Bridge – for obvious reasons:-

The Cut Bridge spans the River Dearne behind and to the right of here. It is one of Yorkshire’s last remaining cast iron bridges. Some parts are due for restoration after an Arts Council England mediated Government grant:-
