General notes
Some of the images are from areas away from Silverdale and the surrounding area. It may be that Bird was on holiday locally, and had a few day trips out.

Devil's Bridge has only carried foot traffic since the 1930s and dated from around 1370. The name arises from the usual story about the Devil agreeing to build a bridge in exchange for the first soul to cross it, and the wily locals arranging for this to be some pet or livestock- presumably, given the number of bridges attached to this story, the Devil never became wise to this trick!
