Roman Bridge

Here’s the Roman Bridge over the River Esk, blipped on my after work work today.

The bridge built by the Romans outlasted them by many centuries. It was rebuilt on the original Roman foundations some time before 1300, and in 1597 it was rebuilt again, this time with a third arch added on the east side of the river. The Old Bridge is also known as the Roman Bridge and remains in use today by pedestrians. I can confirm that, having walked over it today.

I hope you have had a good day.
