Overview

History & significance

Yarm Bridge is a medieval stone bridge crossing the River Tees at Yarm in North Yorkshire. The bridge dates from the fifteenth century and represents an important example of late medieval bridge engineering in the North East of England. It comprises a series of stone arches and has been substantially rebuilt and repaired over the centuries, particularly during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, though its medieval core remains evident in its structure. The bridge served as a crucial crossing point for traffic on the Great North Road and remains a significant monument to medieval transport infrastructure and the commercial importance of Yarm as a river crossing settlement.
