WHORLTON BRIDGE 1830 Co.Durham HEW 356 NZ106 145 N54o 31' 33.1" W1o 50' 12.7"
This bridge replaced an older bridge that crossed the River Tees and follows the design of John Green for his Scotswood bridge over the Tyne. This bridge has suspension chains of flat wrought iron links almost ten feet long supporting a deck with wrought iron cross braces floored with timber. It spans 198 feet. There is a charming toll house beside it as it was on the Whorleton to Staindrop turnpike.
