Dob Park Pack Horse Bridge.

The present packhorse bridge was built in 1767 after an earlier structure was swept away in a great flood. On August 4, 1767, a violent thunderstorm broke out over Pock Stones Moor, where the Washburn rises near Stump Cross Caverns, and it unleashed a torrent of water that caused devastation the length of the Washburn valley, drowning scores of cows, sheep and other livestock and carrying away the bridges at Dob Park and Lindley.
