Bridge. Sandstone ashlar. There was a bridge at this point over the River Ure by C12. It was timber at the time of the Battle of Boroughbridge 1322 but had been rebuilt in stone by mid C16. Constantly repaired throughout the C17-C18, it was widened to nearly twice its original width in 1785 to the designs of John Carr for the sum of £420. The further widening of 1969 left intact the 3 arches, the outer two of which are slightly pointed, each having 5 wide ribs, and the lower part of the chamfered cutwaters to the east side. The semi-circular cutwaters to the west appear to have been totally rebuilt. The stone east parapet may have been reused in the 1969 widening.
