Summary
| Description |
English: Dibbles Bridge The stream appears to change its name hereabouts. Above the bridge it is called the River Dibb and some way below it seems to become Barben Beck. Despite this there are names downstream which suggest "Dibb" may be the true moniker (Dib Side and Dib Well).
Stephen Craven adds: "A shoemaker who made shoes for the monks of Fountains Abbey was returning one night from the abbey with a sackful to be repaired, and fell asleep by the ford here. When he awoke he found a stranger by him who asked the way. The shoemaker told him, and the stranger asked what he would like in return. 'A bridge over this river so that I could cross it dry in flood times.' said the shoemaker. 'Come here next Sabbath morning', said the stranger, 'and it will be there'. The neighbours laughed when the shoemaker told his tale in Thorpe, and during the week one or two went to look, and laughed still more. They went in crowds on the Sunday morning, and the bridge was there. Ever after that it was called 'the Devil's bridge'."
