After it's dramatic collapse six weeks ago, work is underway to build a temporary bridge which will connect the village of Pooley Bridge back together.

The original bridge dates back to 1764 and was washed away as Storm Desmond tore through the county.

The temporary bridge is hoped to be in place in time for Easter.

As the work began on the bridge, it was a sight that locals welcomed.
