This stone bridge joins the village of Yarm to Egglescliffe on the north bank of the Tees.

It was built by Walter Skirlaw, Bishop of Durham in 1400. 

During the Civil War the Royalists won a battle for control of the bridge on Feb 1st 1641.   

In 1803 the stone bridge was replaced by a new iron one.  This new bridge collapsed soon after it was built on the 12th January 1806. 

Fortunately the old bridge had not been destroyed and stands to this day.
