Tanfield Bridge

Tanfield Bridge is a bridge built in 1734 and later in the 18th century, constructed from ashlar stone. The west side dates back to 1734, while the east side was completed in the late 18th century. The west side features three segmented arches with voussoirs and hoodmoulds, along with triangular-sectioned cutwaters on either side of the central arch that rise into pilasters. The round end piers have semi-spherical caps, and there is a band and parapet with flat copings. Inside the center of the parapet, there is an inscription that reads "Division of North and West Riding." The east side is similar but includes banded and rusticated stonework. Notably, half of the bridge crosses into the Parish of West Tanfield in the Hambleton District.
