Build in 1793. An unusual and relatively early survival. At one time, the enclosure formed beneath this bridge was used as a jail - hence its sometimes being known as 'Cuddy's Gaol' ('cuddy' presumably deriving from the fact that the bridge was used primarily by horses and ox-wagons). A small hole in the floor of the cell is said to have allowed inmates to pull up water and deposit waste into the burn below. Nel Logan, a Preston woman imprisoned for stealing a sheep, was the last to be held here - hence its name today.
