 GENUKI: Bridge over River Wye, Bakewell, Derbyshire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
This bridge, one of two old stone bridges over the River Wye at Bakewell, is surprisingly older than the narrow "Packhorse" bridge further upstream, and in fact it is believed to be the oldest in the county.
The earliest known date for a stone bridge at this point is 1272, but the bridge was widened on the north side in the 19th century for increased road traffic.
The triangular sections sticking out into the river between the arches perform the function of strengthening the bridge, and on the road side provide triangular recesses, known as "quoins" where pedestrians in early days could step to avoid hooves and coach wheels.

 Fish farm virus detected in rivers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Antibodies to tench rhabdovirus in fish have been detected by the Environment Agency in seven rivers in England, indicating that the fish have been exposed to tench rhabdovirus during their lifetimes.
To prevent re-infection, the Agency has been testing fish for exposure to tench rhabdovirus from rivers and stillwaters before using them as broodstock.
They do suggest that the virus may be more widespread than we originally thought, but, as it does not appear to have caused any fish mortalities in the wild since 1999, it may not prove to be a serious risk to fish populations.”

Several other rivers have also been tested and have provided negative results, including the river adjacent to a fish farm where an outbreak of the virus occurred last year.
The virus was first isolated in Germany in the 1970s and caused widespread fish kills in the tench and bream populations of the River Bann in Northern Ireland in the early 1980s.
