Little Bridges # 1205 Thorley Brook Traditional Cache

A fine footbridge over Thorley Brook, short walk from the road in Thorley Street.

Thorley Brook was once a navigable creek leading off the Western Yar almost as far as Thorley Manor (about a mile downstream from the cache) until it silted up and a causeway was built across its entrance where a tide mill was established in the mid 17^th century and the current one at the end of the 18^th century.

The Little Bridges series was started by Stanthews in 2009 to highlight small footbridges in remote parts of Wiltshire. Since then the series has been expanded by others all over the country and starting to spread fast, Damian from Winter Foxes has created and updates a list of cachers who has found 10 or more little bridges and can be found here, if you would like to add to the series, please contact Stan on stanthews@aol.com and he will give you a number for your bridge, to qualify, the bridge must be a foot bridge too small for vehicles, please make sure your title exactly matches “Little Bridges # xx then name” including spaces so it will get picked up and added to Damian’s list.
