Description: Riverbank Repairs near Middlewood Tavern This view, looking south, shows the extensive repairs to the riverbank and A6102 road, which was washed away during severe flooding in June 2007. The road was closed for 18 months, re-opening in December 2008. The bridge is the Rocher Footbridge which gives pedestrian access to the Clay Wheels Lane side of the River Don and specifically the Beeley Wood Steel Works just visible on the left side. The footbridge is many years old and replaced 'stepping stones' which would have meant a precarious walk to and from work for the Steel workers! I have spelt Beeley this was, as it matches the spelling on the OS map, but it is also seen spelled Beely ... pay your money and make your choice.
