====Wortley Footbridge==== This footbridge is on the Barnsley Boundary Walk, upstream of Tin Mill Dam. It provides a drier alternative to the adjacent set of stepping stones when the river level is high. The bridge has an above-deck truss design and is constructed largely of tubular steel. It was manufactured by Tubewrights Ltd of Newport (Monmouthshire). This was a company that specialised in the fabrication of tubular steel structures. It had other factories in London, Liverpool and Glasgow and was in business from 1899 until 1981. In 1961, the company employed 1,200 people. This pre-fabricated design of footbridge was popular in the years immediately after the Second World War and examples can be found all over Britain.<ref>{{cite web|title=Wortley Footbridge|publisher=Graces Guide|url=http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Tubewrights|access-date=25 July 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3051291|title=Doctors Bridge photo|publisher=Geograph website|access-date=25 July 2015}}</ref> [[File:Weir, River Don, Oughtibridge.jpg|thumb|top|right|Oughtibridge β river at normal level]]
