Here are the two Sawley Arches being taken down after a
lorry crashed into one.The arches were made out of stone out of the abbey
ruins.They stood across the main road in Sawley for a few hundred years,but
when the roads started getting busier,the arches were an obvious danger.Today
one of the arches is at the side of the road,as a very prestigious gateway
to a field.What happend to the second I'm not sure.I heard that when the second
arche was knocked down the stone was used to build part of a house or something
stupid like that.Over the years since the dissolution of Sawley Abbey alot
of the stone has been taken to build houses around the Ribble Valley.
