Description
The footbridge across Riding Mill Burn, located 40 metres north of St. James' Church, is a packhorse bridge likely dating from the 17th century, although it includes earlier materials. It is constructed from roughly squared stone with a tooled stone parapet. The bridge features a single segmental arch and a chamfered parapet made of large blocks that are clamped together. The south abutment, which is more widely splayed, has a drain with a stone spout on the west side. Locally known as the 'Roman Bridge', it is situated on the historic line of Dere Street. The arch and north abutment may date to the 17th century, with records indicating 1603, while the parapet was likely rebuilt in the 18th or 19th century. The south abutment shows evidence of at least two phases of medieval or earlier masonry.
