Boatford Bridge, over the River Esk - built to allow mill workers a shorter commute. Known locally as the "spring" bridge - and it does bounce a bit under pedestrians !

Present steel suspension bridge constructed also presumably 1871 re-using original open-worked pylons with finials.

One of the lower cascade series, a little way below the main force, on Ashgill Beck [Ash Gill], before it gets to the River South Tyne.
The plant with the white / cream flower spike is meadowsweet.
You cross over using this bridge and climb a little way further up to the main Force, just visible under the road bridge in the distance.

To me, those look suspiciously like very old railway sleepers - the four holes corresponding to the bolts for the chair that held the rail.
They form a remarkably solid bridge over a tiny trickle of water making it's way into the South Tyne - which is just to the side in a deep gorge.

sds/bri[25] - Moulton Bridge {2 of 7}

nobody@ipernity.com (StoneRoad2013) — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 11:52:06 +0000

StoneRoad2013 has posted:

This 4-arch packhorse bridge spans some 65feet over the River Kennett in Moulton, Suffolk. It is built of stone and flint rubble with the pointed arches faced in brick, the date of construction is estimated to be 14th / 15th century. It predates 1532 as there was a charity by that date that was established to cover the maintenance costs of the bridge, funded by land rents. It is now Grade II* listed and in the care of English Heritage.
Such bridges are intended to keep people & goods dry when the alternative of crossing through a ford might mean damage from getting wet. This one is on the well-travelled route between Bury-St-Edmunds and Cambridge, and can still be used by walkers today.
To allow cars to ford the stream, a concrete surface has been laid - on the depth marker the top mark is 3ft - and the Kennett has a culvert to keep the modest flows away from the piers. The roadway pad has been extended under the arches, which allows foot access and would also provide some scour protection. However, at least in the current near-drought conditions, the Kennett is a shallow shadow of it's former self.

Packhorse Bridge, probably dating from the 18th Century, over the Mosedale Beck [Behind the Wasdale Head Inn - formerly the Wast Water Hotel]. Grade II listed.
It is a segmental arch of approximately 15ft span, built from vertical slabs. The concreted walkway is without parapets and about 3ft wide.

StoneRoad2013 has posted:

The Stockton & Darlington Railway built this bridge in 1824 to cross the River Skerne, and it is still in use ! [the wing walls / abutments are later]. It was cleaned and cleared of vegetation in 2020.
In 2021 it became a Grade 1 listed structure, commemorating it's importance as a railway structure - and joining a very select club [only seven other members] as a Grade I listed railway bridge.

StoneRoad2013 has posted:

The "Northern Spire" was formally opened to traffic on 28th August 2018, after well over a decade in gestation [design, planning and fabrication]. Named as a result of a public poll in 2017.
It carries the A1231 over the River Wear, between Pallion and Castleton to the west of Sunderland.
The form consists of a two span cable-stayed structure and is 1102 ft [336m] in length.
The central A-frame - The "Spire" - was fabricated in Ghent [Belgium], and was raised in February 2017; it is 344 ft [105m] in height.
The eye-catching white structure is floodlit at night.

This pair of modern concrete viaducts, carrying road & rail routes across the Afon Dwyryd.
Which replaced a grade II listed wooden viaduct, which was demolished in 2013 [after it was rumoured that proposals to keep the road section for pedestrians / cyclists had been accepted].

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pont_Briwet

during construction work, there were incidents of scouring to the river bed, and partly as a result of that erosion, pylons had to be demolished.

StoneRoad2013 has posted:

The Chain Bridge is just four miles upstream from Berwick upon Tweed, as seen from the south west.

Originally built in 1820 as largely designed by a Royal Navy Caption Samuel Brown, when opened it was the longest wrought iron suspension bridge [ at 449 feet / 137m]. It is currently listed "Cat 'A'" and is on several other historic landmark registers.
It was reopened in April 2023 after a lengthy and expensive restoration, and is now the oldest bridge still open to vehicles, with weight & width restrictions.
