Thieves Bridge over Redcar Brook 2

A walk on Houndkirk Moor 28

A cool morning with frequent showers, clearing to sunshine by the afternoon.

The Thieves Bridge carries the Houndkirk Road over the Redcar Brook. The brook rises on Burbage Moor, west of the Houndkirk Road. East of the road, it flows in a steep-sided clough towards Dore, eventually becoming the Oldhay Brook which in turn becomes the River Sheaf at Totley.

The grassy area in the middle distance is the former site of Oxdale Lodge/Badger House.

Superb!
I bet this was Derbyshire once (maybe it still is, as I think Burbage Moor might be on or near the current boundary?). I think I've mentioned this before but my Mum was born in Dore when it was definitely in Derbyshire!

Earthwatcher replied to Andy Rodker:

Thanks Andy! Yes - this is now in South Yorkshire but used to be in Derbyshire up until the 1920s or 1930s (not sure of the exact date of boundary change). Previously the county boundary ran to the north, along the line of the Limb Brook through Whirlow and Ringinglow.
