Re: What For!
If it's a canal bridge it could have been for bargees to tie the horse to while they did that foot walking along the inside of the bridge thing (forget what they called it) and then collect the horse when they got through and off they'd go again.

Re: What For!
Two thoughts for your consideration Staggers……..
Are they for tying off nets? Maybe at a time when the mighty but graceful Salmon roamed the sea’s and retuning to the Jewel of the Ribble. OK, how about for roping off the bridge for penning animals on Market day.
