Despite its name the bridge was not actually built by the Romans,but is thought to have been constructed in the 1700's, and originated as a Pack Horse Brudge. Until the 1860's the bridge was known as Windy Bottom Bridge. It was only when the railway came into the vicinity and Manchester folk became frequent visitors that it got rechristened Roman Bridge which was certainly more "Romantic" and even shorter and sweeter. Until then the Lakes in the vicinity were always known as "Bottoms Reservoirs" they were then elevated to the Roman Lakes.
