<P> A two - day Victorian fair used to be hosted in the town each September . The streets were closed to traffic and filled with traders' stalls, craft demonstrations and entertainment, while visitors were encouraged to wear Victorian dress . </P> <P> The town is noted for the Devil's Bridge (54 ° 11 ′ 56" N 2 ° 35 ′ 24" W ﻿ / ﻿ 54.199 ° N 2.590 ° W ﻿ / 54.199; - 2.590) which at one time carried the Skipton to Kendal road over the River Lune . It dates from around 1370 and is constructed of fine gritstone ashlar . It has three spans, the western two measuring 54.75 feet (16.69 m) each and the eastern one 29 feet (8.8 m) and measures 45 feet (14 m) from river to parapet . The piers are hexagonal, measuring 60 feet (18 m) around and extend upwards to provide pedestrian refuges . At the eastern end is a sundial in the form of a square block on an octagonal column . </P> <P> The bridge was probably built by the monks of St Mary's Abbey, York . In common with many bridges of the same name, legend holds that the Devil appeared to an old woman, promising to build a bridge in exchange for the first soul to cross over it . When the bridge was finished, the woman threw bread over the bridge and her dog chased after it, thereby outwitting the Devil . Several large stones in the surrounding area, including the Great Stone of Fourstones, are ascribed to the Devil's purse - strings bursting open as he ferried masonry to build it . </P> <P> It was repaired in 1705, and re pointed in 1829 using Roman style cement . The eastern arch was repaired in around 1869 . The roadway on the bridge is only 12 feet (3.7 m) wide, insufficient for modern traffic, and with the numbers of vehicles increasing the bridge was closed to vehicular traffic in 1932 . </P>
