The hamlet shares its name with Bolton Bridge, an old bridge over the river less than a kilometre south of the town. The bridge is Grade II listed, and was built in 1807.[3][4] The cottage building standing on the west bank of the river by the bridge may be the site of a former chapel.[5] There are several heritage buildings in the hamlet including some cottages and the Devonshire Arms pub. The hamlet area is considered at-risk for floods.[2]
