That's a tough one George.

Just guessing, including Bridgemont and Furness but excluding Buxworth ...

Canal: Station Rd,  New Rd, Bypass x 2, horse tunnel, Tesco, + footbridges

Railway: A6 near Bridgemont, Bridgemont/Ringstones, Whaley Pit/Hockerley estate, Reservoir Rd, Wharf Rd, Buxton Rd, Bridge over CHPR/Shallcross branch, Old Rd, Chapel Rd + Chapel Rd bridge on Shallcross branch + footbridges

River Goyt: 2 bridges to CPA, Bridge St, Market St, Macclesfield Rd.

Carr Brook: Elnor Lane, Chapel Rd, Buxton Rd

Bridge over CHPR track at Fernilee

So I make it about 25 + footbridges, but there must be some more.

And the railway bridge over the Goyt behind Jack Hallam's (Bridge 41 I'd guess)

And railway underbridges at Rock Bank & Eccles Road

Yes, I forgot quite a few!

How about Kishfield bridge between Pennant End and Kettleshulme?

I know exactly where the bridge over the turnpike is! was scouting around there a few weeks ago, curious as to that rounded hump thing along the track.. was it a quarry Shallcross? I noticed the bridge - it's lovely. It's also substantially damaged, as if  a large vehicle has pushed the wall over .

There's another  one near Fernilee Hall, directly under  the Peak District Park boundary stone, and which would have been entered where the campsite is now.

The lovely one near the toilets bottom of Bunsall Cob gives you an idea of the scale of elevation as the trains were winched up the 2 levels. But there's another bridge a 1/3 of the way up the incline -it's like a sheep/cattle creep bridge, and cuts under the road/incline and would have led from Nook Farm ( sadly demolished ) nearby.

We've also got numerous wooden & metal bridges over the Goyt: Taxal, Billy Goat's Gruff further up the valley ( pupils of Bunty Sidebottom will know exactly where that is ) and the bridge over the canal wharf.... can't think of anymore at the moment.

Only the Derbyshire side, half way across is Errwood / Taxal Cheshire

A few more Furness Vale bridges :  Station footbridge ( don't forget the Whaley station footbridge) ; railway bridge over the footpath between Old Road and the Marina; railway bridge over the track leading to Carr Farm; Carr swing bridge on the canal; Furness Vale aqueduct which carries the canal over a brook which runs parallel with Station Road. Just below Calico Lane, Station Road crosses the old printworks mill race presumably on a bridge and just to the left of this is an old disused span .

The tramway tunnel (or does it count as a bridge) still exists under Buxton Road and under the chippy although it is blocked at both ends.

Has anyone mentioned the various bridges around Bridgemont carrying the by pass over the canal and river?

Has anyone mentioned the secret tunnel in the very centre of Whaley Bridge?

It's still in great condition and you can walk through it.

I think that at one time Cllr Swift was thinking of taking paid, conducted tours through it to increase the vast wealth of the Council or perhaps his own. Who knows.

Secret tunnels R. S. S.  - is this another of your conundrums ?  Could it be an escape route from the Mechanics or are we back at the corn mill ?
