"LANGTHWAITE BRIDGE."
"The source of the stream passing under this bridge [plate 36] is in Sprinkling Tarn, which descending the mountain Sprinkling, unites itself with Sty Head Tarn, and having reached the valley, winds between the village of Seathwaite and the black lead mines to Langthwaite Bridge, which is a quarter of a mile from Rosthwaite."
