The bridge is referred to by many Lancastrians as the 'swearing bridge' due to its two masts resembling a 'V sign'. Its location is culturally significant as the near-approximate site of the historic Old Loyne Bridge.

Lune of Hippocrates which the arc "AEB" lies. Consequently, the smaller circle has half the area of the larger circle, and therefore the quarter circle AFBOA is equal in area to the semicircle AEBDA. Subtracting the crescent-shaped area AFBDA from the quarter circle gives triangle ABO and subtracting the same crescent from the semicircle gives the lune. Since the triangle and lune are both formed by subtracting equal areas from equal area, they are themselves equal in area. Using a similar proof to the one above, Alhazen showed that two lunes, formed on the two sides of a right triangle, whose outer boundaries
