The Roman bridge south of Piercebridge, North Yorkshire

England - Northumbria and Durham
The Roman bridge south of Piercebridge, North Yorkshire. The River Tees then ran south of its current channel. The large blocks were probably scattered in a flood, and very likely some would be used as building material after the bridge collapsed. The Roman road which crossed the Tees here was Dere Street, which ran from York past the fort at Piercebridge to the Antonine Wall in central Scotland.
